Assuming they simply didn’t vote in the general election, that’s enough votes to have flipped both of those states.

It turns out genocide is unpopular enough to sway elections.

    I’d like to believe the people who said they were uncommitted were actually uncommitted, but I’d lead towards a decent chunk of them bluffing since there isn’t any accountability for whether they still voted for Kamala or not and they were mostly libs to begin with

      Doesn’t even really matter - whichever ones were bluffing I’ll continue to bluff for them. It swung both states as far as I’m concerned

      Yeah they had the opportunity to lean into “this isn’t inflation, it’s price gouging, you’re being robbed by corpos”, but instead went with “well actually the economy is the best it’s ever been, what inflation?”

    If they didn’t commit genocide, the republicans would say “we are going to commit genocide” and possibly win the 2024 election.
