For voters that lean Democratic, the top issues are healthcare (76%), SCOTUS appointments (73%), abortion (67%), economy (68%), climate change (62%), gun policy (59%), racial and ethnic equality (56%), and finally foreign policy (54%). Foreign policy covers a lot of ground, and it’s number 8 overall on the list of most important things to Democratic voters. While it’s hard to find polling on the genocide in Palestine specifically, the number of people for whom that is the most important factor is very, very low
It may be true that, of the people who are normally back-the-blue-no-matter-who that aren’t this year, that it comes down to genocide in Palestine, it’s simply not true for voters as a whole. You can argue that it should be important, but–again–“soft on terrorism” is not a winning strategy in a national political race, and that’s exactly how Republicans spin any support for the tens of thousands of Palestinian non-combatants that have been genocided by Israel. Including the Palestinians in the West Bank that are being murdered by Jewish right-wing extremists.
I hope Harris wins, and I hope that she does more than Biden has been willing and able to do. But if Trump wins, then we’re pretty much guaranteed that Israel is going to eliminate all Palestinians in the region.
I’m not wrong and you are citing something focused on “all” of democratic voters. I’m not taking about “all” voters; I’m specifically talking about the 2-3% of uncommitted voters in swing states for whom a genocide is a bridge too far
She needs to target a specific voter block that are literally registered democrats who are struggling to justify this vote. Yes, a small group, but you can not blame Arab American and Muslim voters for not voting for Harris. Harris has to move on this issue and it’s enough voters to get her back into the black in states that she literally just went from winning, to now losing.
I mean shit, steal Pelossi’s move and just become very critical of Netantahu. Literally it’s too late for AIPAC to do shit. I’m not even asking for a campaign promise here. A strongly worded statement or comment. Give us something, literally anything to try and get her maybe +3 in these races.
I promise if you and all the people who consider Palestine their key issue voted for Trump it would still make absolutely no difference in the election.
Every person YOU have heard of- in your bubble. They’re not talking about your friends. Your coworkers there taking about average voters. I’ve seen your nonsense here- you’re not average.
It’s not an important issue to a lot more people than you think. And yes, it sixes that people safer paying attention to it as they should, but look around man…
We are about to lose our democracy. Bigger fish to get here at home.
That’s just not fucking true dude.
Every person Ive heard of who would normally be rank and file for Harris and ain’t this year it’s because of the genocide.
It’s fucking ridiculousness that she’s left herself this open to failure because of some lobbyists.
Stop trying to make fetch happen, it’s not going to happen!
You’re simply wrong.

Good, vote for Trump, or stein or whoever.
I promise if you and all the people who consider Palestine their key issue voted for Trump it would still make absolutely no difference in the election.
But please, prove me wrong.
Ah yes. The projection that I’m the one not voting for Harris.
