    Dean Phillips or Marianne Williamson. They are the other candidates. I think choosing one of them boosts new people within the party and may give a better idea of what you’re thinking than “uncommitted”. Ideally, since Biden’s place is secure, I wish he would acknowledge some alternate candidates, just say something he likes about them or give any indication, really, that he is aware the party needs to move forward without him in the near future. But if he won’t, that’s what the primary vote is for.

      Williamson has already suspended her campaign. Phillips on the other hand is even more of a neoliberal than Biden is. What kind of message would voting for him send? That you want to move further to the right?

      I think uncommitted in this case is actually sending a very specific message. One that would be lost if you voted for another candidate.
