The problem is that the people who are single issue voters in this situation are in the age bracket that doesn't vote no matter how much politicians cater to their wants and needs

That's a popular myth but it's just not true.

First of all, young people DO vote when they have something to vote FOR in stead of only something to vote against.

For example, the Kansas ballot measure that failed to make abortion illegal in the state had more young women voting than men of all ages combined.

It's very convenient for center right to right wing establishment Democrats and their friends in the media to say "they don't vote, so we might as well ignore them" (quiet part: "in favor of our rich donors"), but in reality some of them don't vote because all of them are ignored.

Second, it's not only 18 to 20-something Gen Z voters that are overwhelmingly and vehemently opposed to the genocide and US participation in it. It's also millennials. Combined, those two groups are every voter from 18 to 40-something. Do you REALLY think the Dems can afford to ignore everyone under 50?

and that's proven by other countries as well (where there's more parties to vote for).

Nope. In countries with fewer barriers to voting and enough choices that they don't have to vote for the lesser evil every time, young voters vote as much as any age group except 60/65+

As well, there's a higher % of Israel supporters in the 65+ group (...) than Palestine supporters in the 18-35 group

Yeah, I highly doubt it.. Also, as I previously pointed out, the eldest millennials are in their 40s and overwhelmingly anti genocide and anti apartheid.

so let's say Harris comes out and says "We'll stop sending weapons to Israel", she very well could be handing the keys to the White House to Trump,

On the contrary. NOT doing that or anything in that direction is what could hand it to Trump.

which will send even more weapons to them AND will stop helping Ukraine AND will directly and indirectly lead to thousands of deaths locally (migrants, LGBTQ+, minorities...)

You don't have to sell me on Trump being much worse. I was clear about knowing that in my first comment.

Which is, apart from the fact that it's morally repugnant, why I'm protesting the disastrous pro-Israel stance of the white house and the Harris campaign.

And she very well could be handing the keys to the White House to Trump by not saying it.

The question she needs to ask herself, is it worth risking America to enable genocide?
