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

The ā€œUncommittedā€ group ā€œopposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing,ā€ the statement continues. Additionally, the group is ā€œnot 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 countryā€™s broken electoral college system.ā€

    I mean if I understand you correctly youā€™re saying bascially the same thing as OP - can hold Biden/Harris feet to the fire while working to re-elect Kamala and defeat Trump.

      And the fun part is these arenā€™t my words. These are the words of the ā€œUncommittedā€ faction that wants to hold Democratsā€™ feet to the fire. Theyā€™re saying that at the moment, thereā€™s bigger fish to fry ā€“ a MAGAt movement that would make everything Team Blue has done look like childā€™s play in comparison. So, Mr. Give Some Fucks isnā€™t just arguing with me. Heā€™s arguing with the guys and gals actually advocating for Palestinians.
