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).
Gross. Don’t make this sub about this. We can be anti genocide without being pro religious extremist. This reads as pro republican propoganda - no one needs that.
196 stands with Palestine —literally the mods of this community
please self-examine as to why you read religious extremism into a pro-democrat, anti-genocide post.
The comic you posted doesn’t match what your post says.
you aren’t the first to say so. any thoughts of a better way to write it?
i have creator’s bias so i readily admit it may not be the best in rhetorical quality even though i thought it was good enough to post originally
Get rid of it because it doesn’t apply to the primaries and if you apply it to the general election you sound like you are trying to astroturf the election.
no, sorry :(
how so? it says it does right there, and all my linked sources are about the primaries as well.
well, don’t then. i certainly don’t want you to
The people you depict as the angry villagers are saying that because a third party vote or abstaining is effectively a vote for Trump.
No one’s saying that about the primaries because Trump can’t win the Democrat primaries.
unfortunately i have seen multiple people say exactly that about the primaries, so that’s the rub. maybe you haven’t, and i certainly don’t think the angry mob represents you. but saying that no one has ever said that is unfortunately untrue, and exactly the misinformation i posted this meme to combat. :)
hoping you can just know that this meme wasn’t aimed at you and move on
How?..
Palestine is not Hamas is not Palestine
Repeat as many times as needed
Of course not. However the PLO is still considered a terrorist organization by the US and some other countries. Surely you must realize it’s a controversial topic. Seems a shame for a largely comedic sub to choose a side on such a serious hot button matter and to criticize the democratic party in the US when the only alternative would be much worse. Again, agreeable that genocide should be put to an end, but that doesn’t mean anyone has to side with a state with super strong ties to the Islamic religion and a notorious track record.
