Immigrants might be in camps, but at least you 3rd party/nonvoters have your sense of moral superiority!

Gaza nonvoters alone managed to put Trump in office, and that's excluding the other 'left' issues
Okay and? When you have numbers nearly reaching 40%, what you're looking at isn't hyper-radical moral purity leftists; the majority of these people are almost certainly everyday people who also happen to have something resembling a conscience. There's still no evidence to support a crusade against radical commies who ruined everything, which are clearly the people being addressed/mocked here. Unless you think 40% of Biden-voting non-voters in Arizona are Very Serious Leftists, in which case, uh... yeah.
The idea that 'everyday people' in the US are that interested in foreign affairs is not realistic. Foreign affairs are, unfortunately, almost purely the domain of the already-deeply politically involved, who tend not to be moderate 'everyday people'.
Peddling narratives has consequences, yes, even online! Christ, I wish I still believed that online circlejerks didn't affect REAL politics, but this is the post 2016 world we have the misfortune of living in, and especially the post-COVID world where traditional news media regurgitates whatever is loudest and latest in online media. The people saying things like "The Dems are just as bad as the GOP on Gaza! Don't vote for KAMALACAUST!" were absolutely contributors to nonvoters, and especially nonvoters who had previously voted for Joe fucking Biden, of all people, but suddenly decided that HIS well-known and lifelong Zionism was a disqualifier for his V fucking P
If your view is that any anti-Israel policy in the US is moderate, you have a lot to learn about the US - unfortunately, all of it bad. Simply conditioning aid in the Democratic party was still a distinctly minority view as late as September in 2024, even though favorability of Israel had dropped lower than it's ever been before.
