Sorry if I was unclear. I am a leftist. I care about Gaza. I understand that Gaza was not a winning issue.

I am making a distinction between people who vote third party or don't vote to send a message and people who don't vote out of apathy. The former group is small. I don't think a foreign policy issue will usually swing an election.

I, for one, don't believe that electoralism will solve our problems. I vote for harm reduction and on the off chance I'm wrong, and because our voices matter a bit more in down ballot races. I'd guess this is the most common position amongst people left of the Dems.
