Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) shares his message to voters in the Uncommitted Movement who are considering not voting in the presidential race over the Biden administration's handling of Israel.
There are also some great ways to get written off by the Democratic Party. Frequently not voting or voting third party makes for an unreliable constituency. No politician is going to pay a group that plays hard to get much heed. But for a constituency that turns out and works to turn out others, they’re going to be all ears. There’s a reason causes championed by Black women always feature fairly heavily in the Democratic Party platform. They really punch above their weight.
I am a reliable d voter. I’m the block you claim they cater to. I’ve voted in literally every election able always for D. Ole reliable. Except a genocide is a step to far. They could win me back and many other reliable Dems if they did one crazy trick…
first off: if you consistently vote for a candidate no matter what they do then they can write you off.

imagine thinking drawing a line at ‘genocide’ is playing hard to get. my god the bar is so low. no wonder we dont have any fucking working class rights. thanks, you definitely know what your doing.

yes. do tell. how exactly have the democrats have targetted black women issues specifically? go on I’ll wait.
The real issue is democrats get funding from the 1% and are unwilling to promote worker rights. that’s why they write off the left base issues. fortunately for them the left has been bolstering them regardless every election for decades despite this because republicans would literally murder people for being different. And that generally continues, even right now with harris.
If you look at the policies from harris’ campaign and compare it to 2016/2020.
no healthcare reform mostly just give aways to insurance companies through tax credits.
no minimum wage increase.
wont commit to keeping kahn the most effective FTC chair in more than 4 decades.
wont commit to supporting striking workers.
no mandated PTO/Sick leave for workers.
seems more corporate friendly than worker friendly to me. then add in a genocide on top and completely dismissing a minority group because they are inconvenient and here we are.
What left wing people are really telling you:
vote for what you think is best. If you’re in a safe state go wild on third party candidates. swing state? probably better off w/ harris.
let your reps know that your vote is at risk if the genocide continues post election. and then follow through in the next cycle.
Tim Walz for one has legislated paid leave. If Walz has half the power under Harris’ governing as people seem to believe Harris has under Biden I’d fully expect paid leave out of the Harris Walz admin.
That breaks down when you consider how long Democrats have been moving to the right in order to appease Republican voters. Republicans aren’t known for consistently voting dem.
Vote this election then. And then campaign after the election. What’s stopping you from being the change later? Why teach the a lesson now, when the alternative is Drumpf?
I would argue: Look at the what the people doing the genocide want and vote for their most likely opposition.
Its clear The Heritage Foundation, Netanyahu, Putin, Musk, Thiel etc want Trump to win. I would recommend Voting Kamala on those grounds as denying your enemy a win is far better strategic use of voting as a tool than believing the democrats will ever do the right thing.
I already have. How many times do I have to say that I HAVE ALREADY VOTED FOR HARRIS.
And then campaign after the election.
Centrists are great at coming up with excuses for why it’s never the time to do what they don’t want to do. There will be a new excuse and a new timetable for when it will be acceptable to say anything in opposition to centrists’ genocide. When that passes, there will be another date and another excuse.
We just have to do it when we won’t inconvenience them with a changing world and they can go on doing exactly what they are. Preferably so quiet they can forget we exist.

this is just incorrect on so many levels.

Oh for fucks sake. Like an abusive relationship.
