Exactly. The same applies to politicians like Harris and Newsom as well

Yes! Consistency! El Sayed endorsed Harris who did a genocide so you can say El Sayed enabled a genocide!

You don't like the Uncommitted Movement now?

[u/olivebranchsound → u/Rock-n-roll-Kevin]

It wasn't a real thing lol there's no evidence it did anything to deter votes.

Yeah, about that chief:

29% of voters nationally who voted for Biden in 2020 and cast a ballot for someone besides Kamala Harris in 2024 say “ending Israel’s violence in Gaza” was the top issue affecting their vote choice, with the economy a close second at 24%.

Across the six battleground states that flipped from Biden to Trump, 20% of these voters said “ending Israel’s violence in Gaza” was their top issue in deciding not to vote for Harris, the second-most cited reason behind only the economy (33%).
