The “uncommitted” campaign said it hoped to get 10,000 votes in the Michigan primary. Early returns indicated there might ultimately be more than 150,000 “uncommitted” votes.

      You don’t want the anti-genocide wing of the party to be able to register their disapproval in any way at all.

        Lies. You can register your disapproval. I just don’t want you to get Trump re-elected, which we are headed towards. If you thought Gaza was a genocide now, wait for Trump.

          And conveniently, any disapproval of genocide is immediately interpreted as trying to get Trump re-elected.

            It seems you literally think voting uncommitted is the ONLY POSSIBLE WAY of expressing disapproval. It isn’t.

              There is no way of expressing disapproval with Biden’s support for Netanyahu’s genocide that isn’t interpreted in bad faith by pro-genocide centrists as helping Trump. Not one.

                Speak out, protest, write letters to your representatives and others, boycott Israel, whatever. No problem with that.

                  Speak out

                  I do. Even something innocuous like “Democrats shouldn’t be supporting genocide” gets immediately inundated with insinuations that I’m supporting Trump.

                  protest

                  But not where anyone can ever hear you. I’ve seen pro-genocide democrats call protesters at Biden events pro-trump.

                  write letters to your representatives

                  my representatives are republicans.

                  boycott Israel, whatever.

                  Just as long as nothing changes and no one in the Democratic Party is in any risk of altering their support for genocide.
