no. it was a great propaganda campaign by maga to paint kamala as a war hawk and claim that only maga would stop these wars. many leftists were swayed against kamala bc of the perception that she would also be a puppet of israel. the crazy thing is how well it works to paint Dems badly while republicans can just openly do exactly what they feared dems would do….israel had a LOT to do with the left staying home, dude.

While the Gaza war was a key issue for many Arab American and Muslim voters, particularly in a swing state like Michigan, Romman acknowledged that most voters nationwide and in her home state of Georgia were not listing Gaza as their top concern. Still, she said, the issue emerged as something of a smell test for the integrity of Democratic politicians hoping to sell their message to an electorate beset by financial insecurity and healthcare woes.

“For most voters, if you look at what was their top issue, it’s the economy — of course,” Romman said. “But if you want politicians that are going to put you first and implement the kind of economic issues that you need to have a better life, those are going to be the politicians that are not beholden to special interests. And so Gaza became a way to look for that.”
