TLDR She lost because she was out of touch with her own base on the Israel Gaza genocide
The amount of people who care about what goes on in the Middle East is comically low. I find that the people who think that the world revolves around Gaza are people who don't go out that much. Your average American just went through a pandemic that caused a lot of inflation and economic instability. The prices for just about everything go up, and people blamed Biden for it because he was the incumbent president even though most of it wasn't his fault. It's really as simple as that.
You don’t seem to realize that all of our politicians are bought and paid for by the Israeli lobby AIPAC. Israel literally has universal healthcare and free college paid for by American taxpayers. We also send them unlimited money for weapons. If you’re not pissed you should be. https://www.trackaipac.com/
This doesn't change the fact that this is not the reason why Harris lost. Again, most people don't care about this regardless. It's really a lot more simple than that. People saw prices go up, they blamed the incumbent president for it, then voted for the other party. This is something backed by virtually every poll where they ranked the economy as the single biggest concern for the average voter.
It certainly didn't help that the messaging from democrats on the economy was that everything was great.
It definitely didn't. Most data indicates that voters were concerned about the economy above all else. They blamed the incumbent president because he's the one in office, and then went out and voted for the other party. When his successor promised to do the same thing, that's when you knew the Democrats were cooked
People want change. They feel the oppressive weight of wealth inequality even though most of them don't realize that's the issue. And what was it Joe Biden said, "nothing will fundamentally change"? And then when asked what she would've done differently than Biden, Harris said "nothing."
Wrong answer kiddos; more people are warming up to Team Guillotine than you realize.
