    I too would like to come across one in the wild, because despite people constantly bitching about them, I’ve yet to see evidence that they exist

      Please see the below excerpt from reddit:

      “# CMV: Leftist Single Issue Voters are a massive problem for Democrats.

      Delta(s) from OP - Election

      For context, I am a leftist, by American standards at least, and have seriously considered not voting in the upcoming election because of the Anti-Palestine stance taken by the Democrats. That said, I have realized how harmful of an idea that is for the future of our country and for progressive politics in general. The core issue with Single Issue Voters is that they will almost always either vote Republican or not vote at all, both of which hurt Democrats“

      Also link to an article that shows there was in the very least uncommitted voters because of this. Yes, I will admit it does not mean they actually voted for Trump but their inaction caused the same result even if they did vote for Trump.

      https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/18/uncommitted-campaign-democrats-gaza-election

      So let allow me to correct my initial statement here for you, I would like to meet to talk to those who withheld their vote because they thought to make a statement about the genocide in Gaza in the light of the current Authoritarian administration.
