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).
As someone who lives in South Dakota, I envy you. The Democrats here tend to be even worse than Pelosi. They’re Blue Dog through and through.
I’ve considered running locally myself, but my “radical” beliefs would definitely be exposed, and I don’t want my husband to deal with the death threats. That, and my work schedule.
To be clear, I agree with everything you’ve said. You are quite a bit more articulate than I am.
