"I mean it's not like those 15 million voters have been screaming at the top of their lungs they wouldnt vote for a candidate that supported the genocide for nearly two years at this point"

It is extremely generous to assume that 15m Americans give a shit about genocide. Kamala lost because of the economy. Foreign wars was a minor point against her. The American electorate is bloodthirsty and ignorant, they don't vote based on foreign policy unless it directly harms them. Kamala lost this election far more because of inflation and cost of living.

Kamala lost because she absolutely refused to promise any actual positive policies or changes.

And she was running to the right of Biden on labor issues

Fair point there was also all the other stuff we were screaming about like how pointing toa a graph condescendingly didn't lower grocery bills.
