This person does not speak for the entire uncommitted movement. Many people participating will not be voting for Biden come November. And more importantly they won't be participating in any GotV campaigns for the general. There won't be any "heroic" GotV campaigns that carried Biden in 2020. I won't call it for Trump yet. He might not have any juice left in him either. But its going to be close.
If Biden wants my vote he can show he has the strength to twist Bibi's arm. The longer he takes the harder he better twist. His October surprise better be a No Fly Zone over Palestine, '67 borders. Obviously, he won't. But if we can pretend he will I can pretend I'll vote for him. Asking thousands of activists to not just vote for genocide but actively campaign for it is more futile than harassing Biden.
puertorican self-determination is the best. one of the problems is that there are three main choices: independent nation-state, 51st state, and status quo.
the political system is american enough that the votes on this topic have been between two options rather than some kind of ranked choice and have at various times been deliberately delegitimized by low turnout.
They’re not even thinking in terms of negotiations, competition, or much less, conflict. It’s all about “raising awareness”, and loyalty to your team even when they’re doing poorly.
i guess it makes sense that blue team voters don't understand how negotiating works because no blue team politicians seem to know anything about anchoring or how to make an opening offer.
I used to work on a contract for a certain manager who, multiple times, admitted that Israel is committing genocide despite being any annoying centrist. Despite that, he still plans on voting for Biden lol.
Writing that makes me remember a story. We had a meeting at noon. Some of my coworkers were Muslim. After it finished, the manager asked us if we wanted anything from Starbucks cause he was grabbing lunch. One of the guys said “no, I’m never buying from them again.” The manager seemed confused and asked why, and he replied “they support Israel.” I chimed in and said “they’re enabling genocide.” The manager gives me the face and says “well I’m still going to buy Starbucks.” Nobody said anything, and so the manager continued, “I mean, what am I supposed to do? Not buy it? What else am I supposed to drink? Like I’m sorry Israel is doing that but what am I supposed to do?” We didn’t say anything after either lol
Yeah I'm gonna have to parrot Felix here. I'm only going to vote for Biden if the Knesset is a smoking ruin and every member there is executed for war crimes on livestream in front of the entire world.
Also even saying this got them called a fascist tankie in the comments because they can't bear the thought of anyone even slightly disrespecting genocide Joe in any context that matters outside of snarky memes
They can mald all they want. I'm voting Jill Stein because it'll be hilarious if she were to get a substantial portion of the vote in a swing state. You couldn't pay me to vote for Genocide Joe so I'm just going to use my vote to piss off people.
Akaza Akari will personally use the forbidden Bun Bazooka against any who dare use her likeness to excuse or promote voting for a racist genocidal bastard
I don't plan to vote for the genocidal corpse-emperor. I don't care if the light of the Astronomican goes out, the tech-priests can learn to live without their treats.
Whoah whoah whoah! Hold on a minute here! Who said anything about our protest vote actually doing anything? I thought we were just doing it to feel smug and superior? Now you tell me you actually want...results? You actually want the change you were advocating for? I can't believe this!
Lol liberals fantasize about childish violence and insults and sometimes they mature to fantasies of political violence. But they’ll never commit to it unless it involves a drone strike in a trailer. They can’t be bothered to celebrate the deaths of genocidal maniacs and they think they can muster the will to physically kick anyone
We just got our electoral maps ungerrymandered. I'd like to see if we could get some basic socdems like Michigan. But I think the dems are going to blow it.
As always I'll vote in local elections, but I'm gonna write in "uncommitted" for all of the state and national races. It's a little joke just for me.
His October surprise better be a No Fly Zone over Palestine, '67 borders
At this point the only thing that would sway me to Genocide Joe would be the Marines invading Tel Aviv and doing to Israel's fascist military what Russia did to Ukraine's, then lining up every single Netanyahu official and West Bank settler against a wall.
People are really gonna bother taking time to go outside to a place and stand in line to vote that they aren't voting? Just stay home, eat cheetos and masturbate.
Why give up all leverage before the general election even starts? Why start negotiations from a place of complete weakness? Even if you are planning to vote for Biden, you don't say that or admit that now! There needs to be a real threat of not voting for Biden in the general election so that concessions can be granted in exchange for your vote for Biden in the general election. That is how politics generally work. If there is no threat, why would Biden ever make concessions? He knows that he has your vote already, there is no incentive for him, or pressure on him to do so. There needs to be some actual actual pressure.
