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

The “Uncommitted” group “opposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing,” the statement continues. Additionally, the group is “not 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 country’s broken electoral college system.”

    Sure I follow you but its based on hopes and wishes. You are assuming a green party vote would go to a democrat otherwise. Thats another mistake. Again, this isnt how voting works.

    I understand that you think voting a certain way really means something else ultimately, but I’m telling you that you don’t get to tell people what their vote means. You barely know what your own vote will mean ultimately much less anyone else’s.

    The fact is you have no idea what will happen, but then try to predict it anyways. But its not just a prediction because you go even further. You can disagree with me all you want but its a difference in perspective and neither of us is “wrong” truly. We wont know until the election.

      So finally we get to the answer of my very first question. No, you in fact do not know how voting works, and you’re banking on hopes and dreams and happy thoughts instead of an actual understanding of the system you nominally participate in.
