    No idea how many abstained, or of those that abstained, how many did so because of the Biden/Harris administration’s support for the ongoing genocide.

    But 3rd party? Even if 100% of the third party votes —even those who voted Libertarian or for that antivax nutter, who probably would have leaned Trump before Harris in reality anyway—had instead gone to Harris, Trump still would have won both the EC and the popular vote. 3rd party votes probably were a deciding factor in 2016 and they were definitely a deciding factor in 2000. But not this time.

      I saw a chart about a poll on this. Supposedly, if the data was correct, almost every swing state would have gone for Harris if people who said they didn’t vote because of this issue had voted. Pretty much every poll this cycle was not accurate, so I don’t put that much faith in that one either.
