      Very few voters care about what is happening in Israel. A poll (I think msnbc) weeks before the election showed about 2% of voters considered it a “top 3” issue for them.

        i think polling was roughly like 55-60% of lefties considered it to be “an issue” so that makes sense.

        I still wouldnt expect ANY of these people to sit out the vote, over electing kamala harris though. You have to have significant mental degeneration to process that situation in any other way. So i’m not convinced that’s even possible. Maybe i’m wrong, but then the situation speaks for itself.

          Americans and most of the world don’t care what’s happening in Israel. As a yank living abroad and often traveling for work (conferences, support, sales) It’s typically viewed as an extension of a 30 year conflict, extended on an 80 year conflict, extended on a 1500 year old conflict. In otherwords, it’s “passe.” it’s boring because it’s the norm. it’s unfortunate.

        apparently so “man kamala harris isn’t the perfect candidate for me specifically, guess i’ll let the fascist win”

        thought nobody ever, said winnie the pooh.
