Disgruntled progressive activists and organizations have embarked on a campaign to push voters to mark themselves “uncommitted” in protest of Biden’s stance on the Israel-Hamas War.

With 95% of the expected vote tabulated, 70.5% of voters backed Biden while 19.0% went uncommitted, according to a tabulation by The Associated Press.

In Minnesota, more than 45,000 marked themselves “uncommitted” — a number greater than the margin by which Hillary Clinton defeated Donald Trump in the state in 2016.

    Joe Biden has pledged his unconditional support for israel and is currently proving it. What exactly is your point?

      I like to believe you put on a little hat when you argue on the internet. Do you have a special little hat you wear when you do this?

      “Gotta finish the Problem”. That’s the words of the guy Gunning for the guy you’re hoping gets punished.

      My exact point is that “gotta finish the problem” is objectively worse.

          I’m going to get very literal here. No on stopping the “problem”. Donald Trump is saying that the Palestinians are the “problem” that Israel should finish.

          You probably mean that the IDF should cease fire immediately, and stop obstructing aid. Yes.

            I am interpreting the word “Problem” as “Genocide”. How do we get the IDF to stop committing “Problem” instead of finishing the “Problem”?

            By making Biden put pressure on them

                So why isn’t Biden putting pressure on israel?

                Tell them to stop committing Genocide or he withholds weapons.

                Or loan guarantees.

                SANCTIONS

                Biden isn’t doing anything. It’s all empty words about “be careful for civilians” for the last three months while he tries to send israel 15 Billion in weapons to do the Genocide with.

                And the only reason we don’t have more Genocide is because the Republicans want to screw over Ukraine so badly that they are blocking the Genocide package for israel.

                  You need to read news from more sources than here if you do not see the Biden administration’s position changing and being affected by thess protest votes.

                    I need to see more results than what I’ve seen from the last two months of Biden telling Netanyahu to “pls stahp” while the IDF mows down starving people trying to get food

            Exactly, we need to do whatever we can to keep this monster out of power. The primary is fine for protest votes, but anyone who doesn’t show up for Biden in November is complicit.

              I’m north of the border. It is fucking terrifying to see gleeful support for Donald Trump.

              His rabid supporters don’t understand that their Republican ancestors literally crossed the Atlantic Ocean to apply boots to the ass of Adolph Hitler, who was the Donald Trump of that Era.

                As a fellow Canuck I keep wondering if we’re gonna need the Bug’s meme to become rl after Nov. :/
