    Idk like I said elsewhere something absurd like 2% of voters said that Palestine is a concern for them at all on who they're voting for. I dont have the source but I dont tihnk it bears out the idea that this will matter anywhere but Michigan specifically and there only because of the arab population. I dont think it'll matter in the other swing states. Maybe I'm my own sort of doomer and my doom is that I dont think people by and large consider Palestine something you change your voting patterns over. But I think the young people who made the difference in 2022 who were deflated by Biden were moreso defalted by his age than Palestine, and are now back on board, and care more about abortion and queer rights than Palestine. Especially abortion.

    I just dont think this moves the needle.

      The "uncommitted vote campaign" during the "primary" says otherwise.

      Although of course you are ultimately correct, as I acknowledged before, it isn't a concern for most voters. True enough. But when the margin of victory is 40000 votes (or w/e) in 2020 and 100K people vote uncommitted indicating they won't vote unless policy changes... the math maths there unless those people were lying. We won't know that until November.

      It switched at least one swing state vote: mine.

      I was going to suck it up and vote for her, but her comms team had to put out this shit when they could have just said nothing. Fuck Killer KKKamala
