    For context: there are 4,453,908 Muslim Americans and 1,698,570 Arab Americans as of the 2010 census. The DSA, by far the largest leftist organization, has about 80,000 members. Even if all three of those groups don't overlap at all, it still doesn't explain much. That said, sentiments have power -- the idea that Harris is "more of the same" likely affected a lot of people, even if they don't align exactly with the people behind that message. Sadly, they're about to find out how wrong they are.

She massively bungled that: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/06/politics/harris-campaign-went-wrong/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/06/politics/harris-campaign-... > “What, if anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?” co-host of ABC’s “The View” Sunny Hostin asked Harris, looking to give her a set for her to spike over the net. “There is not a thing that comes to mind,” she said. That was her golden moment to distance herself from Biden's admin and show some personal incentive and she deliberately chose not to.
