Disgruntled progressive activists and organizations have embarked on a campaign to push voters to mark themselves “uncommitted” in protest of Biden’s stance on the Israel-Hamas War.

With 95% of the expected vote tabulated, 70.5% of voters backed Biden while 19.0% went uncommitted, according to a tabulation by The Associated Press.

In Minnesota, more than 45,000 marked themselves “uncommitted” — a number greater than the margin by which Hillary Clinton defeated Donald Trump in the state in 2016.

    I’m going to get very literal here. No on stopping the “problem”. Donald Trump is saying that the Palestinians are the “problem” that Israel should finish.

    You probably mean that the IDF should cease fire immediately, and stop obstructing aid. Yes.

      I am interpreting the word “Problem” as “Genocide”. How do we get the IDF to stop committing “Problem” instead of finishing the “Problem”?

      By making Biden put pressure on them

          So why isn’t Biden putting pressure on israel?

          Tell them to stop committing Genocide or he withholds weapons.

          Or loan guarantees.

          SANCTIONS

          Biden isn’t doing anything. It’s all empty words about “be careful for civilians” for the last three months while he tries to send israel 15 Billion in weapons to do the Genocide with.

          And the only reason we don’t have more Genocide is because the Republicans want to screw over Ukraine so badly that they are blocking the Genocide package for israel.

            You need to read news from more sources than here if you do not see the Biden administration’s position changing and being affected by thess protest votes.

              I need to see more results than what I’ve seen from the last two months of Biden telling Netanyahu to “pls stahp” while the IDF mows down starving people trying to get food
