Wisconsin coalition of low-wage workers and immigrants push back in anger against president’s handling of Gaza war

During the 2022 midterms, Voces de la Frontera Action poured its resources into mobilizing support for Democrats at the ballot box, with volunteer members directly contacting nearly 30,000 voters in their network and reaching 30,000 more through phone-banking and door-knocking, according to the organization. In 2020, Voces supported Biden’s presidential run.

Now, the group has turned its efforts toward promoting the Uninstructed campaign with mailers, door-knocking and social media promotion.

    …in the primary. This headline is highly misleading.

    This article is talking about the same activism that has been seen in other Democratic primaries this season. Asking people to vote against Biden in the primary in order to send a message to that they are not happy with the situation in Gaza. They are NOT suggesting people vote for Trump over Biden in the general election.

    That would be absolute lunacy seeing as Trump has offered Israel his full support in their Gaza campaign and said he would do the same thing in their shoes. He said in an interview, “You have to finish up your war. To finish it up. You gotta get it done." He also actually said Israel’s mistake wasn’t the bombings in Gaza but the release of the pictures of the bombings. Sure blow up hospitals, but keep it a secret.

    “I wanted to call [Israel] and say don’t do it. These photos and shots. I mean, moving shots of bombs being dropped into buildings in Gaza. And I said, ‘Oh, that’s a terrible portrait. It’s a very bad picture for the world. The world is seeing this,’”

    Only a complete idiot would choose Trump over Biden because of the Gaza situation. Trump would happily give Israel all the support they needed to wipe out the Palestinian people.

      If Biden keeps sending weapons to Israel while it systematically starves 2 million people, you and him are going to be in for a nasty surprise come November. I will not vote for genocide, and there are thousands of other democrats who feel the same way.

        So instead you’re going to support the guy who wants to actively help Israel wipe out the Palestinian people. Yeah, that makes sense. 0.o

          Have you been under a rock the past 6 months? That’s precisely what Biden has been doing. And no, I’m not voting for Trump, either. There are candidates running who aren’t genocidal ghouls.
