      I mean she sure did lose dearborn with it. Also a lot of students got brutalized by the police due to pro-Palestinian protests and that didn’t earn her much goodwill.

      I’m going off memory of posts, but I thought there were polls showing it as a decisive factor in Michigan (and maybe Arizona?)

      all I can find so far is this post about how 29% (the largest chunk) of Biden 2020 voters who didn’t vote Harris cited ending the violence in Gaza

        (warning: directionless venting that is ultimately me being mad at myself for not contributing improvements to lemmy)

        why is lemmy’s search so limited in functionality? you can’t search a date range and the existing “last [amount of time]” function doens’t work

        Someone in those comments claims it amounts to 1% of the entire voting population, and Harris lost the popular vote by 3.5%. I’d still say it’s a minor factor because the lions share of those folks are probably from safe blue states where it doesn’t matter at all
