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.
It’s both. You don’t get to wash your hands of that shit.
You are responsible for your actions. I didn’t like Hillary. I still voted for her. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Anyone who decided not to vote for Hillary chose Trump. It shouldn’t have been a tough choice between the two. Hillary also shouldn’t have taken the presidency for granted. But nobody gets a free pass on putting Trump in the White House unless you weren’t allowed to vote.
If Biden ignores his voters on Gaza, it’s still a really easy decision on Biden over Trump. No matter what the topic is, Biden is a better option than Trump. Anyone not voting for Biden is responsible if Trump wins.
Seriously. This isn’t a business selling us a product. This is our country, and it’s incumbent on us to understand the stakes and educate ourselves on how the government works. These politicians campaign because they want to help their own chances, but it’s actually the citizen’s responsibility to decide the best way to vote and to show up at the polls, whether they get “sold” on a good campaign or not.
