You mean they might lose due to supporting genocide.

As opposed to Trump, who is well known for his support of Palestinians?

Problem is the Democrats are bombing family and friends (in Gaza and Lebanon) of the swing votes Kamala needed. The rationale in Dearborn is, I'm not voting for genocide. Can't vote for Harris. Biden hasn't managed to do anything to slow Netanyahu down.

I wonder how much of the Arab votes not going to the democrats contributed. It's an emotional vote, not strategic. The mood in Gaza / Lebanon is, it doesn't matter who wins, not much will change for us. That translates into votes lost in the US, either not voting, voting for Stein, or falling for the campaign efforts of Trump promising peace.

I posted about that before (Trump rallying support from Imams, promising peace in the ME) but was buried under poll results :/

Trump is a wildcard and there is some (probably misguided) hope that he will cut off or restrict funding to Netanyahu simply because he doesn't want to spend the money on the war. While Harris has shown she's not willing to change anything. Maybe she had a better chance if she wasn't the vice president of genocide Joe.

On the other side you have the people that endorse Trump for Israel. Netanyahu has made it clear he prefers Trump and that the democrats have been hindering him. Aipac has been hedging their bets, but also clear the Republican support is preferred.
