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€

    Israel has already slaughtered a full 10% of the population of Gaza.

    How many Palestinians will be left to save by the time Biden leaves office?

      idk why you put full here, i feel like just saying 10% would work just as well, seems more semantically confusing to me more than anything lol.

      Iā€™m not sure what itā€™s trying to imply.

        I guess similar to saying at least 10%, to convey that it isnā€™t 9.5% or 9% but more than that.

          maybe, i feel like you would just say ā€œ10%ā€ or like you said ā€œat least 10%ā€ then, considering that numbers are like, really specific.

          If you werenā€™t being specific you would say something like ā€œabout 10%ā€ implying somewhere around it, 7-13% probably.

          full just reads a little weirdly in that context.
