The US primaries and the general election are two different things. Voting uncommitted in the primary expresses support for the Palestinian plight and does not give Republicans any ground.

The uncommitted movement presents a safe and effective avenue for voters to voice dissatisfaction with President Biden’s policies, particularly with the Israel-Hamas conflict. By doing so in the primary, voters can signal discontent without risking a Republican victory in the general election. The purpose is to send a wake-up call to the Biden administration that it is failing to address issues and effectively engage with the party, vis a vis that Biden is enabling a genocide.

That being said, anyone who calls for an uncommitted or third-party vote in the general election i will personally kick in the gender neutral balls (in Minecraft).

Further, they don't see that their unhinged behavior is literally being just like the Trump cult and demanding total submission to Trump.

Demanding total submission to the whims of Biden isn't any better. Cool guys, you've just proved you're just as out of touch and following talking points as Trump idiots do. Good job on making yourself look like a thoughtless idiot, real winner behavior there.

eh in the face of name calling and bad faith plastering of the label “fascist” i’m not going to do the same

i do get what you are saying! but i’m gonna try to be the better woman and firmly encourage informed self-interrogation when this happens, rather than falling back to good old comparison with the enemy.
