Honestly, imo they lost the election before Gaza even entered the mainstream conversation. The Dems the past 4 years have exhibited nothing but betrayal after betrayal of their constituency. From record deportations of immigrants, to crushing labor strikes, to escalating the trade war with China, to deceiving the public about COVID relief, to bungled natural disaster responses, to lying about Biden's obvious cognitive decline, etc.
Gaza was just the nail in the coffin.
can't forget just completely dropping the ball on the most popular campaign promises (enshrining reproductive rights, student debt relief)
