Who? People go on about how if we just told Israel to drop dead, voters would turn out in the millions, but what actual numbers are there to back it up? The majority of people willing to left the world burn as protest are young and statistically, they don't vote, the issues be damned.

The simple reality is that this "Silent majority" of far leftists Internet pundits want the Democratic Party to appeal to does not exist. Biden didn't try to appeal to these people, because they were never really going to turn out.

Wow they don't exist but we gotta shit on them because we lost the election....

This is the same as Republicans saying immigrants will take your jobs and that they're lazy and stupid at the same time

These numbers

By a more than three-to-one margin, Biden 2020 voters who did not vote for Harris say they would have been more likely to have voted for Harris if she “pledged to break from President Biden's policy toward Gaza by promising to withhold additional weapons to Israel” rather than less likely.

If there are tiny in number, then they didn't sway the election, so your premise is false...
