          But he’s going to win via the Spoiler Effect if people keep this third party shit up.

          A vote against Biden is a vote for Fuckface 45.

          Until we get rid of First Past the Post voting, at least.

            the meme is about a primary election in which Democrats are running against Democrats. no one partaking in this movement is planning to vote 3rd party. you are making uninformed statements, shadow boxing with a situation that doesn’t exist.

              And you honestly don’t believe people aren’t going to keep this mentality up in November?

                the biden administration is currently complicit in genocide. maybe if it wants to survive it should consider not being complicit in genocide. 🐛

                Double negative there with the don’t aren’t, but to answer your question we believe that the people voting in DNC Primaries are going to vote DNC in the general. Anybody who doesn’t probably isn’t informed enough to be a part of the noncommitted movement to begin with.

                  You seem like a logical person. I’d like to circle back to the Uncommitted thesis that Biden is in support of genocide, if you will. Since this is the crux of the whole voting campaign.

                  If you would allow me to ask 4 questions about this whole Uncommitted campaign:

                  1. What action(s) is Joe Biden doing that is a DIRECT support of genocide?

                  2. What action(s) is Joe Biden actively NOT doing that is a direct support of genocide?

                  3. What action(s) should Joe Biden BEGIN to do to that does not support genocide?

                  4. What action(s) should Joe Biden STOP doing right now to avoid supporting genocide?

                  I ask these 4 questions, because right now, I’m not seeing much actual definition of actions that define the support of genocide, nor the quelling of genocidal support.

                  Should he be sending troops? …talking? …cyber warfare? …sanctions? …carpet bombing? …ghosting? …written threats? …dehumanization? …assassination?
                  These are all examples of actions. There are more things, of course. But right now, I’m not seeing any clarification - no specificity - just absolutist rhetoric from the Uncommitted.
                  And I’d like to know more.

                    1. Just one of very many examples, on December 29th, POTUS Biden circuimvented Congress by having his Secretary of Defence approve weapons sales to Israel without a vote in the senate, mainly artillery munitions and long range shells. For the Second Time that Month. Weapons used to murder innocents. Biden has used UN Veto Power multiple times now to shield Israel from consequences.

                    2. Send in Troops, mainly to distribute aid from the shoreline using the Navy’s amphibious vehicles, and indirectly protect innocents as the Israelis are less likely to shell the hand that feeds them. Demand the removal of genocidal authoritarian Netanyahu for continued peaceful cooperation from the USA.

                    3. Immediate cutoff of all aid to Israel. Full Stop. Removal of the aid from the border bill, end to all Secretary of Defense dealings with them, and Censure of Israel in front of the UN. If Israel is smart they will realize they’re surrounded by hornets nest and just lost their veil, so they’ll clean up their act or suffer the same atrocities they submit others to.

                    4. Stop Vetoing UN Resolutions against Israel. Stop saying Israel has a right to “defend itself” from innocent women and children.

                    He should be sending in troops, too, honestly. The ICJ’s Genocide Ruling justifies invasion to stop the atrocity without any consequence. Israel has failed so spectacularly that they need to be demilitarized and restructured much like Japan once was. The USA created this mess, it’s only right that they foot the bill to fix it for the next 40 years. Do I expect that to happen? Fuck no, but it’s what would be the most right.

                    And why should I be the one to educate your ignorant ass on the solutions? You don’t think there are articles and scholars and pundits talking about these issues at length that instead you need to come bother me with your stupid ass questions? Fuck off.

            If you vote for Biden in the primary and not uncommitted or another candidate, you stand against Palestine, plain and simple. Why the fuck is people shutting up and falling in line so important to you when that means letting biden aid and allow genocide? Rhetorical question btw

        ?? Unionize what ?? and this is actually a vote against fascism. Israel’s Zionist gov is very fascist and is committing active genocide against a people they view as 2nd class. This vote is getting the US government to use its outsized influence on Israel to end the Palestinian genocide.

        The US primary election during an incumbent’s 2nd term reelection is the only place to safely vote like this on a national level in the US’s two party/first past the pole system. The incumbent is guaranteed to sweep, so people who care to enact a much needed end to genocide can vote to show their support for ending Palestinians being murdered.

        (In the US, the term unionize is tied to worker groups acting as a collective bargaining unit and not tied to political movements)

          I am very much pro palestine. I’m sorry I was not aware this was a primary, in that case voting against biden makes a lot more sense. I meant unionize in the normal way, as you defined it. Unions are an excellent place to also organize protests etc. Unions are absolutely tied to political movements. Here in norway they are/were associated with the workers party, a social democratic party, however they (the party) have been drifting farther and farther towards the center over the years.

          I’ve seen people discus the election and no one brought up that it was a primary, so I foolishly assumed it wasn’t.

            Ah! Yes this protest vote is symbolic and people will not make the same for the general (real). I understand your and many others’ great worry over the protest vote. No one sane and rational would call for this protest vote for the general election when the alternate (as many others in other countries are well aware, as are we here) is the demise of the US.

            Unions have not been a significant force in the US for decades. They’re at least on the up and up recently as the cost of living has skyrocketed. Glad they’re strong there :) hope they won’t drift too wrong

            It is a grim time in the US, thanks for your interest in us! We must prevail over fascism, we will try, and hopefully we can end the genocide in Palestine while we’re at it. Some people feel it’s “too much”, but they’re being killed rapidly there, people needed to protest where they could.

        where are you from? who taught you what these words mean? tankie? unionize? you know those words have specific applications which don’t match the context in which you are using them? are you aware of how primaries work in US elections?

        /genuinely asking because your behavior is very confusing.
