  • A little, but they lost many many votes by shutting out any pro-Palestinian voices from the DNC. They wouldn’t even let Palestinian-Americans endorse Harris at the convention, let alone talk about Palestinians suffering (but they stacked the convention with Israeli-Americans and families of hostages).






  • Who are “these people?” There’s a wide spectrum of pro-Palestine voters. Those who voted for Harris, those who voted for Stein, and those who voted for Trump. We’re not the same.

    And in the end, Harris lost by a margin greater than all the Arab-American voters and greater than all the college students in swing states or Muslims. So repeatedly blaming this on this specific issue is obviously silly and not backed up by facts. If you wanted more turnout then actually promise something, not “I’ll continue whatever Biden did and will make no promises for peace and won’t even let Palestinian-Americans endorse me at the DNC but I expect you vote for me and my lack of promises because Trump is worse.”
