Listen to Michigan, the group organizing for voters to vote "Uncommitted" in the state's Democratic primary, had a goal of 10,000 votes.
With 27% of today's votes counted so far, they've already reached 35,645 votes, 14.4% of the total.

Today I wanted to share this CNN clip for Americans. You probably heard about the Democrat primaries in Michigan - 100k voters turned out and cast their ballots “Uncommitted” rather than choose the binary of Red v. Blue. If you’ve been paying attention, you know that Americans have been hounding all of the DNC powers ceaselessly. If you’ve been attention, you also know that Biden has had so many opportunities to end the Genocide in Palestine. You also know that Biden dangles the carrot (while eating ice cream) and then removes it (after that MI primary).
It’s important to reframe the binary vote; Biden isn’t going to “defeat” Trump, and Trump isn’t going to “win” - Biden is holding our hopes for a better future hostage. DNC should be courting our vote, not withholding peace for it.
Wisconsin voters are apparently turning out in similar numbers to utilize their voter power, “Uncommitted”. They need to see that we’re paying attention to the difference between their (empty) words and their (in)actions.
I hope this video and my words help give you the confidence to challenge people in your life who are bogged down in helplessness. I hope that you follow Mehdi on social media - if you aren’t already.
Don’t forget to click your Arab.org links, and talk to someone today about Palestine.
“Hope is not so much a comfort, as a necessary requirement.”

to those leftists who are "uncommitted" or will vote third party: what exactly is your alternative? you know goddamn well your "protest" vote isn't gonna change shit & may help trump win. you scoff & claim that "OBVIOUSLY i don't want trump to win 🙄" but you're working harder to make sure Harris loses than he does.
i can't get over how y'all know "so much" about far left theory... but you know jack shit about how the American government works. you already act like the president is a monarch. i NEVER hear y'all talk about how important local & state voting is because most of you spew the bullshit that is "my vote doesn't matter."
the extremist Republicans have been playing a long fucking game. a few genocides will happen on our own soil if they gain all the power they want - that of immigrants, specifically brown people, & LGBTQIA. they will destroy them & anyone who wants to help them. this has been a long game because they can count on their voters actually participating in every election & mostly old people are the ones doing the voting.
we all complain about old people being selfish, how "they had theirs & will work to make sure younger generations don't." young people however are NOTORIOUS for not showing up at the polls. where the fuck are you leftists complaining about all the horrible bad things? y'all almost act like shocked Pikachu faces when piece of shit politicians get power then do horrible things. WHY AREN'T YOU ADVOCATING FOR LOCAL POLITICIANS.
if anything, Republicans live more in the real world than leftists who want their precious, magical, instantly-fix-everything revolution. Republicans have been patiently playing a long game & it's been WORKING. leftists get mad that changes they want don't happen instantly so they just give up on the system altogether. y'all want politicians to check ALL of your goddamn boxes or they get no help from you.
your protest vote in this election is selfish. you're not being smart about this. for fuck's sake, you're not marrying Harris, you're thinking of the long game. we need to work hard to make sure trump loses. the likes of jill stein, who is also a traitor, will not save us. she will hand us over to Russia on a platter. you want the US to collapse? you are so fucking foolish that you not only remain ignorant of how our government works but also geopolitics & all the delicate nuance. YES, the United States is fucked up, but world leaders are more nervous about a trump second term than not. HE FREED THE FUCKING TALIBAN.
you think things will be the same as ever? you're as bad as MAGA. you want us all to fail & all it will cost is LGBTQIA folks, immigrants (including those who have been here for decades), any woman who needs some kind of abortion care to save her life, children as more get gunned down, the elderly & disabled & anyone else who qualifies for social security & Medicare, veterans, indigenous folks, the environment since they don't believe in climate change WHICH AFFECTS THE ENTIRE DAMN PLANET, etc. but at least you're conscience will be clear.
please be smarter than Republicans & think this through. in another election in 1995 in Isreal a protest vote occurred & as a result netanyahu won by LESS THAN A WHOLE PERCENT. they were protesting AGAINST him. your "principles" could aid in harming us all. "they should have chosen a better candidate" our system led us to either choosing Harris or trump. for now it sucks but one of them will govern us. if you're so unsure then you might as well look forward to trump winning. he's not long for this world so jd fucking vance will be president instead. he's much younger & more evil, horrible, & psychotic. THINK ABOUT THE LONG GAME. vote locally & at state level, not just during thr general election. y'all don't sound smart to me; you sound prideful & short-sighted.
#uncommitted#vote#general election#us politics#if your protesting helps to make sure trump wins then fuck you#you're not hurting harris#you're hurting the rest of us#sorry but we only get two choices#i hate it but it's not changing#this election is not normal#jill stein is a putin plant#if i'm selfish for wanting to keep my rights then i'm fucking selfish#good luck protesting under trump#you think protestors get treated like shit now#oh are you in for another pikachu face surprise#project 2025#project 2025 is an existential threat#stop project 2025#your proesting may help in getting a bunch of people massacred#your conscience is clear tho 😌

Presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris’ team quickly downplayed claims that she said on Wednesday she’d be open to “discuss” an arms embargo against Israel.
The Uncommitted National Movement, a Palestinian activist group that has been vocally critical of Israel’s war in Gaza, said in a statement Wednesday that it met with Harris during her campaign rally in Detroit on the same day. The activist group said in its statement that it “requested a formal meeting with Vice President Harris to further discuss their demands of an arms embargo and a permanent ceasefire.” (RELATED: Americans Mostly Agree Democracy Is On The Ballot In November, But Disagree On The Threat: POLL)
“The Vice President shared her sympathies and expressed an openness to a meeting with Uncommitted leaders to discuss an arms embargo,” the group said in its statement. The members who had met with Harris “thanked the Vice President for her openness to engaging with the demands of Uncommitted voters.”

Harris has not since publicly addressed the claims made by the group or whether she’d be open to discussions about an arms embargo against Israel. As of Thursday, she had not held a single interview with reporters since July 21, when she announced her candidacy for president.
Though Harris herself has not spoken about the matter, her national security adviser, Phil Gordon, said in a statement on Thursday that she has been “clear” about the issue, claiming that “she will always ensure Israel is able to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups. She does not support an arms embargo on Israel.”
The Uncommitted National Movement responded to Gordon’s statement on Thursday and maintained that Harris expressed “an openness to meeting about an arms embargo.”

"But what it really comes down to is that Americans, myself included, are tired of the military industrial complex and the war machine constantly churning and constantly driving. Almost $4 billion a year goes to Israel to provide weapons of war. And our calls are simple. We know that money can be used to foster and develop human life and not end it, whether that’s in America, or in Gaza, or in the West Bank.
So BLOC is part of this call, because at the end of the day, we have to stop the destruction of human life. We believe in the sanctity of human life, we believe that war is wrong. And that’s the intersection of all these issues, that our money as taxpayers are being used to end human life. And we can’t stand for that."

The uncommitted movement grew out of the “Listen to Michigan” campaign ahead of that state’s February presidential primary. Its goal was to send a message to Biden that he needed to do more to prevent civilian deaths in Gaza. Hundreds of thousands of voters eventually cast uncommitted ballots throughout the Democratic primary in several states.
Organizers’ key demands are for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza and an end to U.S. weapons transfers to Israel,"

Uncommitted leaders will attempt to push Harris, the Democratic nominee, to endorse a US arms embargo on Israel along with a permanent ceasefire between the Jewish state and Hamas. The organization argues that its demands will help end a so-called “genocide” in Hamas-ruled Gaza.
Top Democrats have spent recent weeks engaging in meetings with leaders of the Uncommitted movement, hoping to mollify angry Arab Americans, a voting bloc which could prove critical in key swing states such as Michigan.
Harris recently held a meeting with Uncommitted leaders ahead of a campaign rally in Michigan. The New York Times reported that Harris indicated she would be “open to” arranging a meeting with pro-Palestinian activists to discuss an arms embargo on Israel. The Harris campaign later denied such reports, insisting that the nominee “does not support an arms embargo on Israel” and “will always ensure Israel is able to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups.”
Harris also reportedly arranged a secret meeting with Abdullah Hammoud, the mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, the state with the largest Arab population in the US. Hammoud has repeatedly condemned Israel’s military operations in Hamas-ruled Gaza, accusing the Jewish state of committing a “genocide” in Gaza and an “ethnic cleansing” in the West Bank. On Oct. 7, following the slaughter of roughly 1,200 people throughout southern Israel by Hamas-led Palestinian terrorists, Hammoud condemned the Jewish state as a “racist apartheid system that criminalizes Palestinian existence.”
“Israel’s decades of illegal military occupation and imprisonment of Gaza make peace impossible and tragic violence inevitable,” Hammoud tweeted on Oct. 7. Israel has trapped millions of Palestinians in Gaza in what is recognized by the international community as the world’s largest open-air prison. Failure to recognize this context is the inability to comprehend what is unfolding overseas.”
Hamas-led terrorists kidnapped some 250 hostages during their Oct. 7 rampage and perpetrated mass atrocities, including rampant sexual violence.

"both candidates will be bad for palestine but trump will be worse for everyone else" setting aside the many other ways that biden is terrible, palestinians do not matter less than we do, they are no less deserving of our solidarity, they do not deserve to die just so we don't have to live through another trump presidency. you privileged ghouls only extend your allyship and solidarity to the point it doesn't inconvenience you. if you vote for biden this year, stay out of my life forever. you have just told the world that genocide is not a dealbreaker for you.
the reason liberals are so insistent that you vote for genocide joe and can't shut up about how high the stakes are is that they don't believe in taking any action except voting. they don't believe change is possible outside the electoral system. no matter who is elected this november, the world will continue to get worse, and we will all have an obligation to protect each other. no matter who gets elected, you will need to take action to protect yourself, your family, and your community. you, yes, you reading this right now, need to find a roadmap to survival outside of the framework of electoral politics because *no one* in the US government will do it for you. free palestine. fuck joe biden. fuck donald trump. fuck you if you respond telling me to vote ♥️
