In reply to the discussion: POLL: HUGE REASON WHY DEMS LOST The Kyle Kulinski Show [View all]
There are countless subgroups that people can pick and choose from to make this case.
The bottom line is the choice was between a deranged lunatic and a decent man who had a solid four years a POTUS - not even a choice for any rational, reasonable person.
Over 70 million voters used a LOT of different rationals to vote for the deranged lunatic.

Whatever Biden was going to do about the Israel-Gaza war, he was going to lose votes.

It's not about losing Jewish votes...it's about losing enough Jewish votes.

Doubtful that is enough there are only about 6 million Jewish adults in the US and obviously not all of them voted.

Israel has always been our worst enemy because we refuse to believe that from a foreign policy perspective.

There are also a lot of people who support Israel because they see it as our main ally in the ME.

Yes, indeed. And also many, who support Israel for non-Jewish religious, eschatological, evangelical, end-times reasons.

Yeah, but they aren't independent voters that we're trying to court. However, there are plenty of moderates

And probably MORE "moderates" who voted the cost of eggs and a bag of Doritos.

I am not being hostile, I am just calling out falsehoods in your initial claim (that you are now trying to revise, btw)

No. Not enough people bothered to vote. Gaza didn't mean squat in this election.

McGovern really supported the Vietnam protesters and ending the war. It did not go well: 1972

I don't believe running against the war would have helped. We would have been seen as pro-terrorist.
