"Despite these polls and the passions raised by the war with Hamas, it is easy to exaggerate the power of Gaza as a motivating issue for voters eight months from no-win November. History suggests that foreign policy issues end up as a minor motif in presidential politics unless American soldiers are dying in combat as they were in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2004.”
Yeah, but I doubt average Americans think about international relations and macro trends in that way when voting. The economy is “booming”, but people are not experiencing the boom, and are rather complaining about increased cost of living, coupled with rising crime in cities like NYC due to a challenging refugee situation.
If I was a betting man, that will score higher in the voting booth than Middle East policies, NATO, green new deal or RvW, and I think there are a number of democrats who are unhappy, but won’t necessarily vote for Trump, however they might not be voting Biden either.

The term is disenfranchised.
Historically, Republicans win when Democrats don’t turn out to vote. When you look at the past 4 years, its hard to believe the Democrats aren’t trying to disenfranchise their voter base.
“You gotta vote come hell or high water” is a Conservative mindset.
You vote for a candidate worth voting for is a Liberal mindset.
Neither Trump nor Biden are worth voting for.
That’s when liberals stay home, or go third party.
