The “Uncommitted” movement seeking a change in the Democratic Party’s approach to the war in Gaza on Thursday announced it is not ready to support Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris — while urging voters not to back Republican nominee Donald Trump or third-party candidates who could help Trump win the November election.

The “Uncommitted” group “opposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing,” the statement continues. Additionally, the group is “not recommending a third-party vote in the Presidential election, especially as third party votes in key swing states could help inadvertently deliver a Trump presidency given our country’s broken electoral college system.”

    Israel has already slaughtered a full 10% of the population of Gaza.

    How many Palestinians will be left to save by the time Biden leaves office?

      idk why you put full here, i feel like just saying 10% would work just as well, seems more semantically confusing to me more than anything lol.

      I’m not sure what it’s trying to imply.

          maybe, i feel like you would just say “10%” or like you said “at least 10%” then, considering that numbers are like, really specific.

          If you weren’t being specific you would say something like “about 10%” implying somewhere around it, 7-13% probably.

          full just reads a little weirdly in that context.
