    zero chance that this article mentions “genocide” or “Palestine” despite the polling showing it as the dominant a significant factor in her loss

    EDIT: gonna dial down this claim until I can find some of the post-election posts

        I’m going off memory of posts, but I thought there were polls showing it as a decisive factor in Michigan (and maybe Arizona?)

        all I can find so far is this post about how 29% (the largest chunk) of Biden 2020 voters who didn’t vote Harris cited ending the violence in Gaza

          (warning: directionless venting that is ultimately me being mad at myself for not contributing improvements to lemmy)

          why is lemmy’s search so limited in functionality? you can’t search a date range and the existing “last [amount of time]” function doens’t work

          Someone in those comments claims it amounts to 1% of the entire voting population, and Harris lost the popular vote by 3.5%. I’d still say it’s a minor factor because the lions share of those folks are probably from safe blue states where it doesn’t matter at all
