President Biden quickly sailed to victory in Minnesota, but he was once again vexed by considerable defections as tens of thousands marked themselves “uncommitted.”

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.

    I don’t really have a horse in this race (Bernie fan, never worked for a campaign), but

    Yes, the DNC prevented people from voting Sanders because giving him fair treatment would have upset the corporate democrat mindset.

    You haven’t really explained how the DNC prevented people from voting for Sanders in the primaries, and I’m genuinely curious.
