The largest plurality (29%) of people who voted for Biden in 2020 but stayed home in 2024 said that Gaza was their biggest reason for not voting. The Democrats aren't considering pulling their support for Israel, but they have been fighting internally over being less supportive trans people. The idea that they lost because they just wouldn't stop fighting for marginalized people is just not connected to reality, and it's very possible they'll be standing up for even less people by 2026.

Could you spare a link to that 29%? I'm curious

This article covers it, but it unfortunately doesn't link to the actual poll. I first learned it from a news podcast, so I can't point you to the original source.

That was enough to find a link to the poll. Thanks!
