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.
Shits gotten worse.
I always said I’d be “blue no matter who” in the general as long as we had primaries, even after the DNC lawyers said they could interfere and it was fine because they could ignore results in 16.
But this year they took delegates away from NH for some bullshit only state republicans could control.
After NH went progressive over party favorite two primaries in a row…
We’re really fucking close to both parties just getting rid of primaries and announcing their picks.
And it’s terrifying not just that it’s happening, but that everyone keeps saying it’s fine and changes nothing.
It’s hard enough when one party is antidemocratic. If the only two options are, then were can’t even pretend to be a democracy anymore. It’s an illusion of choice where no matter what the rich get richer and everyone else gets fucked.
