BI: AOC asked voters why they backed her candidacy and Trump's reelection. They said the economy and Gaza. - eviltoast

I’ve often assumed Harris didn’t want to insult her boss by going against him, because I got the impression she was planning to give Netanyahu what for once she took over - especially with him escalating things further and further. Did anyone else get that vibe, or was it just wishful thinking on my part?

    Harris not good enough, therefore Trump

    For many people it was never trump, but it was a choice between Harris or leaving the presidential vote section blank, or voting third party. Just because you (@Randelung) equate any lack of vote for Harris as a vote for trump doesnt mean the rest of us think like that.

      That’s kind of how it ended up working out though, innit? Harris actually lost the popular vote.

      Fair enough. I didn’t consider not voting (or third party for that matter) as an option, but, as you say, that’s my subconscious bias.
