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

The “Uncommitted” group “opposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing,” the statement continues. Additionally, the group is “not 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 country’s broken electoral college system.”

And yet they refuse to support the one person that could keep him out of office.

Fucking geniuses they are!

Israel has already slaughtered a full 10% of the population of Gaza.

How many Palestinians will be left to save by the time Biden leaves office?

Israel has already slaughtered a full 10% of the population of Gaza.

idk why you put full here, i feel like just saying 10% would work just as well, seems more semantically confusing to me more than anything lol.

I'm not sure what it's trying to imply.

I'm honestly doubtful Trump would make any additional difference considering Biden didn't do anything to reduce Israel's insanity. He'd still have to let congress pass the big stuff, and Biden approved every single smaller sale bar holding up one shipment temporarily.

Everyone keeps saying "yeah but Trump would be worse for Gaza" just because he did the whole embassy thing, but this really looks as if it's maxed out.

Even from a purely utilitarian perspective assuming this is true, I'd rather take my final stand and be wiped out than to be continuously subjected to essentially warcrime torture for the remainder of my life.

Harris already made it clear that her policy with Israel won't change. Her campaign decided that the amount of votes in this group do not matter (which I completely disagree with), which is why she barred them from talking at the DNC, despite the fact that they were offering to endorse her. She went all in on the AIPAC funding and lobby though.

This is basically their last desperate call to get the DNC to change their minds (probably won't happen), so I guess I'll see you all in r------- red Michigan this year.

Pretty sure if Trump gets elected people will be too busy with their own local genocides to care about Gaza.

If we're at the point of states doing ethnic cleansing, the president isn't going to matter

Two people refusing to vote for anyone or voting for a third party has the exact same impact as one person voting for Trump instead of Kamala.

I like how you saying it makes it true.

[-] Red_October@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Do you just not understand how voting actually works?

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 hours ago

No, it is basic statistical analysis of outcomes.

They also acknowledge Biden can stop the killing.

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

No serious person thinks that's the case.
