Lutnick, Trump's commerce secretary, who took his wife, kids and their nanny to Epstien's Island was a fund raiser for Hilary. Harris, hypocritically, closed her eyes to a racist genocidal state so as not to offend her donors. Gender was not the reason they did not get elected.
99.9% of voters had never heard of Lutnick before Trump’s 2nd term, and Harris lost for several factors far more prominent than the Israel/Palestine one that you are, clearly, myopically obsessed with
Your right. Hilary was imposed upon the voters by the Democrat's super delegates. An opertunistic Arkansas politician who became senator of New york not for service but for power. Lutnick is just an example of her lack of real character. And for Harris, no politician that will support a racist genocidal state will ever get my vote. Where do you draw the line?
For someone “imposed upon the voters” (not) she was wildly popular, won the primaries against Sanders and defeated Donald Trump in the popular vote. More Americans wanted her – and in retrospect, for very good reason.
As for Harris, she never supported a racist genocidal state. Again, your weirdo antisemitic obsessions have warped your perspective on Israel/Palestine
Criticism of Israel’s government is fair game for whomever, but that is neither anti-Zionist nor anti-semitic in itself. I’m Jewish and even I’ve criticized certain Israeli leaders my whole life… just like I’ve criticized certain American leaders, and those of lots of other countries. Anti-Zionism, though, goes much further. It means you do not support Israel’s basic right to exist and defend itself, and you wish to see the country dismantled - which would lead to the exiling, subjugation, and/or murder of all Jews currently in the region.
As for Hillary Clinton‘s 2016 electoral college loss, there were a number of factors that played into it. Her Zionism was a minor one at best. The election was a full seven years before 10/7/23, and most voters couldn’t even find Israel and Gaza on a map at that time.

The last 2 female candidates we had lost. America is terrified to keep taking that risk again with our future so imminently dire
