In reply to the discussion: Anybody here know the numbers as to how many votes Kamala Harris missed out on because of Gaza? [View all]AloeVera
(4,263 posts)22. People being carnaged want the world to see.
To help stop the carnage, I assume. How absurd of them....not really.
I also recall seeing pics, videos and documentaries about Oct. 7th. It was saturation coverage everywhere for months.
People want their suffering seen. Especially when it is in the moment and ONGOING - it's a cry for help, I would think, not an adverisement.
And for certain politicians and their supporters, if it helps sell a WAR, the more pics and videos, whole websites devoted to it even - all the better!

Probably somewhat higher than the number of voters whose relatives were killed by US-supplied munitions in Gaza.

I think most voted for her even if they were rightly concerned about Gaza and the genocide.

I think we lost a lot of Gen Z votes over it and of course Arab population centers. Both groups realize now, too late,

I don't think so. Lots of white people didn't vote or voted third party all over the country.

I think it effected other states. Lots of white, young people voted against Kamala.

All I can say is anyone who was foolish enough to believe Trump would be better for the residents of Gaza
