Despite the Democrats losing the popular vote in the election to the Republicans for the first time since 2004 - and by more than five million votes - many pro-Kamala Harris social media users aimed their frustrations at pro-Palestine voters, specifically Arabs and Muslims, on Wednesday.
Even if Harris had managed to win Michigan in the electoral college, which is home to a significant Muslim and Arab voting bloc, she would have still lost the election.
"Asian, Black, Hispanic and white voters all moved towards Trump. "Harris only increased her vote share among the over-65s and with white college-educated women," the FT report said.
One X account user posted: "Fuck Gaza at this point! And I mean that from the bottom of my ass! They at harris rally screaming every time she speak and never at a trump rally! Good! Let Israel run wild on them."
We can and should blame the Harris campaign.
People can vote for local elections and not vote for a president. There's often local measures and ballots that make meaningful change, such as ranked choice. Which failed. Because people didn't vote for it.
Enthusiasm for a president should not affect your local elections when the local elections are specifically meant to change how you vote for the president. Among other things, at least. Not having ranked choice was the thing everyone was complaining about, no one showed up to vote for it.
