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

The ā€œUncommittedā€ group ā€œopposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing,ā€ the statement continues. Additionally, the group is ā€œnot 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 countryā€™s broken electoral college system.ā€

    Sure I follow you but its based on hopes and wishes. You are assuming a green party vote would go to a democrat otherwise. Thats another mistake. Again, this isnt how voting works.

    I understand that you think voting a certain way really means something else ultimately, but Iā€™m telling you that you donā€™t get to tell people what their vote means. You barely know what your own vote will mean ultimately much less anyone elseā€™s.

    The fact is you have no idea what will happen, but then try to predict it anyways. But its not just a prediction because you go even further. You can disagree with me all you want but its a difference in perspective and neither of us is ā€œwrongā€ truly. We wont know until the election.

      So finally we get to the answer of my very first question. No, you in fact do not know how voting works, and youā€™re banking on hopes and dreams and happy thoughts instead of an actual understanding of the system you nominally participate in.
