Repeating myself for the nth time: People aren't abstaining from voting due to a single issue (genocide). They are abstaining from voting because none of the many issues they find relevant (handling climate change, COVID, the housing market, minimum wage, rampant and systemic racism, overfunding of police, warmongering, medicare for all, combating corruption, the rise of fascism, not being insane wrt border policy, the right to abortion, bodily autonomy, queer rights, labour rights, etc.) are being handled at all, but as long as the democrats aren't committing a genocide, then theres still a reason to vote for them. Now that they are, there's no reason to vote for them.
It's not a single issue. This issue is just what broke the back of a very tired camel. Not doing genocide is a bare minimum which the democratic party cannot fulfill.
