I mean…actually though; their postmortem says they lost net votes due to arming the genocide.

But I've been told that it wasn't enough to change the outcome? Which is it?

Hamid Bendaas, a spokesperson for the IMEU Policy Project, said that during the meeting "the DNC shared with us that their own data also found that policy was, in their words, a 'net-negative' in the 2024 election." Two other senior aides at the pro-Palestinian organization also said the DNC had drawn that conclusion.

I don't know whether it was enough to change the outcome or not, but it's a net negative for them, which means that we (folks who abstain until they stop arming a genocide) did show them. You said that sarcastically...but like...we did. We don't know yet whether they'll change course or not, but at the very least you can say we showed them it matters from a purely Machiavellian perspective.
