It’s one less vote for Biden

Y’all forgot 2016 already?

This isn't the general election. I'm in Michigan and all of the Uncommitted stuff I've seen has been "vote uncommitted in the primary to show your displeasure, then vote for the Dem in the general because the alternative is way worse."

It's frankly a gift to the Biden campaign. It's a strong signal of displeasure with a clear reason for why they are displeased. Hopefully someone on his campaign team can convince him to change course here.

Considering they got our governor to say that voting uncommitted in a primary was going to help trump I doubt the campaign is looking to listen sadly.

I remember 2016 very well. They took their vote for granted and fucked themselves up. They still haven't learnt anything from that.

This is a primary.

And you don't think any of this sentiment will drift into the general?

You don't think we should stop supporting genocide. There's no reason for a question mark at the end of mine.

What an insulting and disgusting straw man. I do not support genocide, asshole.

Then stop trying to get people to stop opposing genocide.

Voting uncommitted doesn’t do that.

Trying to shut down all criticism of genocide certainly never will.

And that isn’t what I’m doing

You don't want the anti-genocide wing of the party to be able to register their disapproval in any way at all.

Lies. You can register your disapproval. I just don’t want you to get Trump re-elected, which we are headed towards. If you thought Gaza was a genocide now, wait for Trump.

Lies. You can register your disapproval. I just don’t want you to get Trump re-elected, which we are headed towards.

And conveniently, any disapproval of genocide is immediately interpreted as trying to get Trump re-elected.

It seems you literally think voting uncommitted is the ONLY POSSIBLE WAY of expressing disapproval. It isn’t.
