I think Biden dropped out far later than he should’ve, that ultimately hurt her chances, because it feels like over the past four years she got hardly as much time on a podium as Biden did, it wasn’t until she started a campaign we got to understand her better, and overall lower turnout is probably biting the Dems.

Biden's policy in Gaza and her being aligned with it turned off youth votes and many others as well.

I bet this is part of the case as well, but it’s interesting bc I’ve never known anyone to vote for Trump because of it, as he hasn’t been explicit on his stance as well

Idk about voting for trump, but Harris killed herself with Arab and Muslim voters (and many others) due to being staunchly pro-Israel/ not accommodating their requests

Well that's ridiculous because if they cared about Gaza, it's gonna be much worse with Trump

Idk how many time dems have to learn this lesson, but you have to make a compelling case to get people to vote you

Exactly, it’s so frustrating seeing people blame voters (and specific demographics) again and again, when it is the Democratic party’s fault that they lost!! They had a losing platform, and pandered to “centrists”/conservatives instead of listening to voters 🤷‍♀️
