This is true, and those voters main concern in presidential elections is the economy. According to NBC's exit polling:
Meanwhile only 4% of voters cited foreign policy (which covers the Gaza genocide and Ukraine's defense -- immigration was broken out into a separate category) as their main concern. Even if Harris flipped the big red "stop the genocide" button and brought those single issue voters out of hiding, there's no way they could outnumber the voters who were pissed about the economy.
Frankly, if she was going to have a real chance, she needed to throw Biden under the bus -- and it still might not have made a difference.
If she came out and said she would stop companies fucking their customers, that might have done it.
I think instead she entertained firing Lina Khan?
Yup. 🤦
That 4% represented 25 electoral college votes fam.
But yes the economy as well. Go look at Michigan and Wisconsin and keep the arabs in mind. When you play with your numbers.
And all she had to do was say she'd apply american laws to israel. And not let her campaign shit on arabs. Shame really.
As for the economy... Yeah 'nothing specificly comes to mind' probably isnt the best choice to run. My khan! 😞😮💨
