The ā€œUncommittedā€ movement seeking a change in the Democratic Partyā€™s approach to the war in Gaza on Thursday announced it is not ready to support Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris ā€” while urging voters not to back Republican nominee Donald Trump or third-party candidates who could help Trump win the November election.

The ā€œUncommittedā€ group ā€œopposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing,ā€ the statement continues. Additionally, the group is ā€œnot 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 countryā€™s broken electoral college system.ā€

    Biden isnā€™t dragging his feetā€¦

    Heā€™s moving at light ing speed (for his age) to support Israelā€™s genocide in anyway he can, including going around congress illegally to avoid a delay of just a few days.

    I just hate how all the blame is put on voters, itā€™s literally Kamala and her campaign teams job to get votes, and despite how much they hate the thought, that means giving Dem voters what Dem voters want.

    And they donā€™t want to be citizens of pretty much the only country still supporting the genocide by sending munitions. Especially when itā€™s a violation of the Legacy Lehey law and bare minimum we should be demanding Israel track the use of US supplied munitions.

    Like. Youā€™re completely underselling the damage Biden and other party leaders are causingā€¦

    And then claiming you canā€™t understand why people donā€™t like him or the partyā€™s stance.

    Why dont you spend your time and effort trying to stop a genocide instead of telling people they have to support a genocide?

    Your way even if we win. Still a genocide.

    If we demand Kamala and party leadership stop breaking US and international law, and they actually listen

    Kamala could moonwalk into the oval office and Israel wouldnā€™t be able to continue their genocide.

    Whatā€™s so hard about picking the best path?

    We can stop trump and genocide or just stop trump.

    Seems like an easy choice to me

      I mean if I understand you correctly youā€™re saying bascially the same thing as OP - can hold Biden/Harris feet to the fire while working to re-elect Kamala and defeat Trump.

        And the fun part is these arenā€™t my words. These are the words of the ā€œUncommittedā€ faction that wants to hold Democratsā€™ feet to the fire. Theyā€™re saying that at the moment, thereā€™s bigger fish to fry ā€“ a MAGAt movement that would make everything Team Blue has done look like childā€™s play in comparison. So, Mr. Give Some Fucks isnā€™t just arguing with me. Heā€™s arguing with the guys and gals actually advocating for Palestinians.
