The US primaries and the general election are two different things. Voting uncommitted in the primary expresses support for the Palestinian plight and does not give Republicans any ground.

The uncommitted movement presents a safe and effective avenue for voters to voice dissatisfaction with President Biden’s policies, particularly with the Israel-Hamas conflict. By doing so in the primary, voters can signal discontent without risking a Republican victory in the general election. The purpose is to send a wake-up call to the Biden administration that it is failing to address issues and effectively engage with the party, vis a vis that Biden is enabling a genocide.

That being said, anyone who calls for an uncommitted or third-party vote in the general election i will personally kick in the gender neutral balls (in Minecraft).

    Yes, I’m sure that if the democrats lose and Trump gets elected because people demonize Biden everything will get better in Palestine. Get real. Now’s not the time to be an idealist.

      a fair and pragmatic outlook!

      just don’t stoop to accusing the people who choose to do an uncommitted vote of being fascist or spreading FUD and we are good 👍

        If you want to vote uncommitted, that’s on you. If you’re trying to delegitimize Biden by arguing that he’s complicit in genocide in open forum, you’re trying to hand the presidential election to fascists.

          good thing i am not and will never do the second thing.

          donald j trump is a white supremacist and has openly vowed that he will “finish” the genocide in gaza if given the opportunity.
