The “Uncommitted” movement seeking a change in the Democratic Party’s approach to the war in Gaza on Thursday announced it is not ready to support Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris — while urging voters not to back Republican nominee Donald Trump or third-party candidates who could help Trump win the November election.
The “Uncommitted” group “opposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing,” the statement continues. Additionally, the group is “not recommending a third-party vote in the Presidential election, especially as third party votes in key swing states could help inadvertently deliver a Trump presidency given our country’s broken electoral college system.”
My ideal outcome is that Harris caves and stops the Israeli version of Auschwitz which is already happening. Failing that, my ideal outcome would be that the protesters establish a credible threat going forward that supporting genocide will result in tangible political consequences. Establishing such a threat is far more important is far more important than any one election, especially when both people are pro-genocide.
The moment you commit yourself to the ideology of lesser-evilism, you have sacrificed every ounce of bargaining power you might have wielded. The concerns of reliable voters don’t factor into any politician’s calculus. I can’t figure out whether liberals just have terrible instincts regarding wielding power, or if it’s just that they don’t care to wield it because they’re satisfied with the status quo.
Your words would have more weight if you weren’t in full support of the Uyghur genocide in China.
Oh yeah, just look at all that genociding going on!
No, it’s people like you refusing to accept reality but rather willfully hiding in your racist propagandized little bubble who can’t be taken seriously.
Another .ml user who also loves the genocide of Uyghurs. I’ll make a note that you are a racist like they are.
I still don’t understand why any of you so-called “leftists” are carrying water for a state capitalist nation that produces hundreds of billionaires. Must be that you actually love authoritarianism and don’t give a shit about economics at all.
