I disagree with your assessment but appreciate your civility, as well as the fact that you acknowledge how obsessed people are with blaming undecided voters.
The stats I've seen show that Gaza was actually a significant issue in some swing states and absolutely could have improved Harris' chance at victory.
Many Americans have family members who are being killed in Gaza. Not to mention the risk of American troops being deployed increases as Israel becomes more and more belligerent.
Many Americans are also horrified at the fact that their tax dollars are being used to commit a genocide.
I try to follow a "generous tit for tat" strategy on tone, unless I'm arguing with the libertarian-right in which case going full asshole from the start just saves time.
I know that American opinions on Palestine are deeply against the genocide, but that's a different conversation than what drives actual votes.
