It's baffling to me that the DNC decided it was more important to support Israel than win the election and do good things at home.

How can you look at the current support for Trump and conclude you would've won in the US by not supporting Israel?

Because polls before and after the election were crystal clear on this point.

Over 30% of Biden 2020 voters said arming genocide was going to affect their vote.

That's BIDEN VOTERS.

80% of Democrats wanted an arms embargo.

Arming Israel meant giving up millions of votes in swing states, in an election that was lost by extremely slim margins in those states.

And before you ask, it was also clear from polling that ending support to Israel would have cost nearly zero votes from her base.

And the reason the Harris campaign didn't know this is because they didn't want to know. Campaign staffers were instructed to mark anyone who raised Gaza as "no response". Attendees of the DNC conventions were literally plugging their ears and shielding their eyes from protests, or even laughing about them.

Trump won by less than 50% of the vote and there are many polls that show the Biden administration's genocide was massively demotivating to democratic voters.

Supporting Hamas over Israel would've hurt more, probably.

False dichotomy.

		is it? Because 'that part' of the Democrats were fully in support of Hamas. Have you seen the University protests? If the Dems caved to that they would've alienated 10 voters for every 1 student that might show up at the polls if it doesn't rain.

You can also support neither.

Harris had all sorts of good things planned at home. It’s baffling to me that some voters thought it was more important to lose the election.

Voters don't lose elections, campaigns do. Harris failed, and this kind of "turning around of the blame" thing that Dems try to do is one of the reasons why they don't win elections: they never learn.
