The Jill Stein people were certainly just anti-Democrats but there were a lot of people that just felt let down. Ive been a Democrat since I was about 15 and voted for Democrats in every election I was able to, but even I felt let down. Here was what couldn't even be called a war, it was a slaughter that went on and on and on and the American Government supported it militarily, politically, and monetarily. Of course Biden made some moves to try to alleviate it but none of them really made a dent in the amount our Government supported it. I think Biden was a great president and I think Harris would have made a great one also but we are allowed to have criticisms of them and their campaign. On Gaza I think they did a bad job. People don't owe us their votes. Its up to us to win them and obviously people were upset enough about what was going on in Gaza, death on a large scale that was very one sided and what they felt was at best a tepid response from the Democratic party, that they were less motivated to vote for us. Some of those still voted for us, some didn't. I think that those that didn't were wrong, but I'm certainly not going to attack them for their actions that were based on something like that. Thousands of people dying for no reason. 2025 shows that US polling moved more in line with their thoughts, 2026 polling even more. The polling shows that this hurt us. Its not some made up thing. I could think that those attacking those who didn't vote were doing it because of binary reasons. That they werent anti war at all they were just more pro something else. That would be stupid. Maybe think more about how we failed them rather than how they failed us. Bashing them wont get their vote and if there is anyone I want to vote for us that didn't its the people who are against wars and senseless killing. Maybe thats just me though.
