Unless there's data you can share which proves otherwise, Gaza was completely irrelevant to the swing states which cost Kamala the election. Everything points to concerns over "the economy" and immigration. Support for Ukraine, abortion, and trans rights had a bigger impact than Gaza, but because it was the one issue Democrats were split on all the ire is directed towards the inconsequential number of protest votes from California, New York, and a single district in Michigan.

On the topic of accountability, people were sounding the alarm since 2021 and labeled "doomers" for it. Nobody wanted to take the idea that Trump would be running again seriously. Nobody wanted to believe that people were still willing to overwhelmingly vote for him. Nobody wanted to listen to the polls that showed Democrats were in big trouble. Nobody wanted to hear that Biden shouldn't make a bid for reelection. Why did it take big donors calling up Chuck and Nancy for people to finally wake up?

I say this not to excuse anyone who did decide to not vote for Kamala solely because of Gaza, I say it because Democrats have learned absolutely nothing about why they keep losing elections.
