I think you overestimate how much Americans care about Palestine or foreign affairs in the wake of post covid inflation.
About 8 million [Arab] Americans cared enough to stay home, from voting.
See: Detroit, Dearborn, and several other Midwest cities with large [Arab] American citizens who stayed home, and depressed the vote there.
Very few votes would be lost by shutting off Israel. Most Americans do not care. But there were votes to be won by supporting Palestine.
I don't think its that "Americans Care", but its the fact that it fuels propaganda that strengthens the "Both Sides Same" narrative which causes democrats to stay home.
I disagree. Kamala could have cried 'from the river to the sea' or even 'free Palestine now!' I really don't think it would have made those reluctant democrats get off their couches. The apathy goes beyond foreign affairs and you're overestimating the general populace. Online discussions of geopolitics don't mirror the real conversations Americans are having. So whire IP is big here, I hardly believe my Mom who is a dem is thinking about it much. Its really the grocery bill.
It would have convinced a sizeable [Arab] American citizens to vote, rather than stay home to avoid voting for Genocider A or Genocider B.
