??? Clinton, one of the most unpopular candidates in history, came within a couple hundred thousand votes.
Harris lost running on massive inflation, in the same wave that saw almost every incumbent government thrown out by historic margins and still came within only a couple of points of trump.
I'd also argue Harris was a bit doomed because of how hard we took the bait last time and screamed HITLER at every provocation. The independents and centrists who watched that and endured a bad but relatively normal presidency learned the lesson that the Left exaggerates and that their warnings are without merit. If we'd "kept our powder dry" maybe we could've convinced them the 6th was as bad as it was but, like my younger sister, we just screamed, took the bait and lost despite being right.
Call it the party who cried HITLER.
axois' reporting on the dnc's attempt to suppress the last election's post mortem investigation and the yougov polls of pro-biden/anti-harris voters have shown us that harris lost 10 million votes because of gaza.
these people were disaffected by the system in the same way that it disaffected clinton's voters despite registered democrats outnumbering registered republicans.
so many are disaffected now that there aren't enough 3rd party voters to make up for the difference.
Yet Trump was much worse for Gaza than any of the democrats would have been.
And that wasn't a surprise before the election. Trump was Bibi's buddy the last time he was in power but people conveniently ignored that.
Imagine biting propaganda so hard that in the name of Palestiniansyou actively made things even worse for them and hundreds of thousands if not millions across the world.
I'd love to see the source on this though because 10 million is a wild number. Harris had 6 million fewer votes than Biden, so somehow losing ten million votes on something that wasn't the top election issue seems like an... Interesting claim.
my brother in christ, it's in the american news and by an american source: https://www.axios.com/2026/02/22/dnc-2024-autopsy-harris-gaza
Homeslice, nothing in there says anything about millions of votes, let alone ten million.
The closest you get would be
There were many net negative issues, like say, inflation and immigration which rated higher in most polling about voter issues etc.
i regret looking into the exact number because HOLY FUCK it's so much worse that i thought!
i was going off of projections from the yougov/imeu poll suggesting roughly 10 million
since then, the democratic think tank named the catalist report did their own investigation and found that it was around 11 million for gaza and 30 million all together.
you have to be part of a democrat party aligned political annalist group to get the report; but american periodicals named the nation and rolling stone did a tldr of these report and there's a deeper dive within the cook political report.
