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.
So where did Bernie’s votes go then? Are you saying the results were wrong? Did the DNC prevent people from voting for Bernie during the primaries? The numbers would appear to support my position.
I don’t understand how you can say that Biden hasn’t acknowledged progressives. The IRA has a bunch of great climate stuff, he’s forgiven billions of student loans, and the NLRB has helped drive unionization efforts around the country.
Do you recall? Fellow Bernie campaigner lol.

So you completely ignore what I wrote and posted articles about something I’m not disputing?
So are you going to ignore that the DNC itself is not Democratic? If the platform for choosing candidates is not representing its own voters and actively promoting its own self serving interests, your vote doesn’t matter. It is a sham. The DNC actively painted Sanders in a negative way and pushed both Clinton and Biden. Just like this primary where saying anything against the DNC’s narrative will get you panned. Yes, the DNC prevented people from voting Sanders because giving him fair treatment would have upset the corporate democrat mindset.
Where did the votes go? They are still available if you acknowledge the policies that make Bernie an appealing candidate instead of championing the low effort neoliberal stance Biden has to be pushed into.
Okey dokey.
Yeah kinda what I thought, you didn’t actually work on the Bernie camp lol
I don’t really have a horse in this race (Bernie fan, never worked for a campaign), but
You haven’t really explained how the DNC prevented people from voting for Sanders in the primaries, and I’m genuinely curious.
