I think millions of would-be Harris voters stayed home over Gaza. An article in May stated that as many as 13% would stay home over the loss of life in Gaza. Then when you also factor in the way bibi intentionally ramped up the slaughter as the election neared--he successfully interfered in our election.

That said, I'm not going to rule out shenanigans. I just think in this situation, our only hope is to produce receipts. I also think the recounts should have been automatic. trump was acting suspiciously after the election, but we need proof.
