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.
With effort, a protest vote might help get Donald Trump elected. Donald Trump literally stated that Israel should finish the job.
A primary protest vote won’t help him get elected, no.
Depends on how many of those protest voters during the primary decide to stay home on election day.
Anyone willing to turn out for a protest vote in a primary is unlikely to be someone who sits out a general.
That’s great, hopefully he gets the message. Exactly how we should use primaries. That being said, the people not voting for Biden in the fall are ushering in a dictatorship that among other things will result in substantially more deaths in Palestine. Send a message, but stopping the GOP has to be the top priority.
Either Biden gets this message now or he will lose in fall. That’s up to Biden to decide.
It is overwhelmingly clear that this is going to lose him the election if he continues. This is his choice not the voters.
It is literally 100% up to the voters who gets elected president
Have you forgotten the 2000 election so soon?
It’s easy to send a protest vote in March. Let’s see how everyone feels in October.
Ok Hillary…
Some of us remember the danger of running a bad candidate and telling voters:
If you don’t like the candidate, dont vote
We need candidates like 08 Obama, or even 92 Clinton.
At least give voters a charismatic neoliberal that can trick people into voting for them.
Or Bernie, 16. Dude got stolen from us. Never forget that the DNC is not a democratic body.
Nowadays, Bernie is to the far right as to the lot of you lefties.
