I voted uncommitted in the primary in Washington this year.
Nice
The uncommitted movement is 100% what primaries are for. It gives a clear message in actual voting data to the democrats and bidens campaign and I do think they know that they’ve got some ground to cover, whether they manage to remains to be seen. To be honest I was gonna vote in my primary but I’m in a red state and there’s no uncommitted on the ballot so I don’t really see a point when all of my other candidates for other positions are also already decided. Worst of all, all of my local positions are solely Republicans and it sucks that I don’t feel like I can vote for anyone locally who could actually represent me. Anyway, I’m really glad there have been so many uncommitted voters, it’s how primaries should work when there’s only one real candidate.
“rocked”? Really?
Last time I checked, the U.S. is still sending more military aid than ever to assist in the genocide of the same vulnerable, impoverished, starving people. Nothing has changed.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
People in Michigan, and across the country, had been protesting for months over the Gaza war and the US government’s role in it, marching in the streets, showing up at the president’s public events, and pressuring their elected officials to support a ceasefire.
That year, then candidate Barack Obama was not on the ballot in Michigan because the state’s primary date violated party rules, so his supporters voted “uncommitted” to reject Hillary Clinton’s campaign there.
A memo written in late January by Waleed Shahid, a Democratic strategist, outlined the idea: use uncommitted in the Michigan presidential primary to “demonstrate a large rejection of President Biden’s backing and financing of the Israeli government’s war in Gaza”.
The next stop was Minnesota, a state with a progressive tradition, a sizable Somali population, and seasoned organizers who learned how to get messages out fast during the 2020 racial uprisings over the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis cop.
Potential volunteers were urged to sign up for phone and text banks, donate whatever time and money they could spare and join a WhatsApp group that shares actions people can take.
Organizers from Michigan and Minnesota shared what worked for them, followed by campaign leaders in Washington and Wisconsin, who detailed what they hoped to see in their states once voters had a chance to cast ballots for uncommitted options.
The original article contains 2,507 words, the summary contains 226 words. Saved 91%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Ah yes, state primaries are the real general election.

No, you absolutely transparent troll, the people talking about the impact of the primaries and the steps the Democratic leadership need to take before the general to win and stop Republicans are not Republicans. Just stop. We all know what you are doing.
Primaries are done since Biden and Trump have both won. There might be down ballot contests left, but that’s it. You will prove nothing other than you are MAGA at this point.
A vote saying they won’t support the Dem ticket in November without a big change still means something, even if the race has already been called.
Everyone already knew Biden would win handily since the first primary. That’s why they voted uncommitted instead of for an alternative.
Vote says nothing other than you’re ready to put Trump in power and good luck with that.
This is embarrassing dude, stop
You’re just repeating over and over that you don’t understand what a primary is
You don’t understand how little attention you’ll get. Nobody cares about what’s left.
If no one cares, there’s no reason for you to be so upset.
You’re not upset about uncommitted votes in the primary; you’re upset that voters are rejecting unconditional support for Netanyahu’s genocide.
This is how Trump won in 2016. I know you can’t help yourself but if you really care about the outcome of this election, keep it zipped.
Yeah, saying voting for Jill Stien is stupid is the reason Clinton lost by 17000 votes in three counties.
Yeah, you need a calculator (Can they count?).
But I wasn’t talking about third party candidates. I was talking about liberal conspiracism: dismissing all criticism as bad faith attacks from secret Republicans because you couldn’t possibly be wrong about anything.
Stop sneering at the voters you desperately need to hold their nose and vote for Biden.
Hear that, remaining states? You don’t matter.
Not that any of us ever did.
They really don’t. Once the number of delegates is reached, it’s done.
Since they don’t matter, how they vote in the primaries doesn’t matter either.
You just want to silence opposition to Netanyahu’s genocide.
Why?
yo can you do me a favor and confirm your existence to the people who called me a liar over in this post lol.
Get some sleep.
