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?

      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.

        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.
