I consider myself to be on the far left, and I voted for Kamala. Quit making us a scapegoat, please. Oversimplification feels nice I know, but it's not actually accurate or helpful.

Uhhh... Okay, thanks for the articles, but they leave me a bit confused as to your point.

The first is just about respondents to AOC's Instagram post asking people who voted for her and Trump "why", and many cited Gaza as a key concern. And the second article cites a fairly limited exit poll, known for their unreliability, saying many Muslim Americans voted third part.

Neither article even references the "Far Left", nor do they present evidence that a complete shift in these votes would have changed the elections outcome.

So... Yeah, thanks again for sharing I guess? And I guess these are good articles to suggest maybe the Dems should have focused more on Gaza. But they don't really justify the claim that the "far left vote would have handed her the presidency".
