    I don’t think so. Not that I have anything better to offer. My wife thinks Biden would’ve won because too many people stayed home, refusing to vote for a black woman. I, frankly, think the election was about the economy. If you look back over the elections, they are almost always about how people are doing financially. If they are scared or hurting, they will vote for change. If they are happy, they vote for the incumbent. My honest opinion is that there wasn’t a scenario or candidate that would’ve changed Trump’s victory.

    What I am sure of is that in all of the states where Trump won (even Michigan), if every single person who withheld their vote due to Israel/Gaza had voted for Kamala, that wouldn’t have been enough by itself to change the outcome. Certainly, that issue had an effect, but it didn’t change the outcome by itself. We have to look beyond that.

    But, still, if you did withhold your vote thinking you were fighting for Gaza, yeah I think you deserve to have your nose rubbed in that shit.
