Listen to Michigan, the group organizing for voters to vote "Uncommitted" in the state's Democratic primary, had a goal of 10,000 votes.
With 27% of today's votes counted so far, they've already reached 35,645 votes, 14.4% of the total.

Today I wanted to share this CNN clip for Americans. You probably heard about the Democrat primaries in Michigan - 100k voters turned out and cast their ballots “Uncommitted” rather than choose the binary of Red v. Blue. If you’ve been paying attention, you know that Americans have been hounding all of the DNC powers ceaselessly. If you’ve been attention, you also know that Biden has had so many opportunities to end the Genocide in Palestine. You also know that Biden dangles the carrot (while eating ice cream) and then removes it (after that MI primary).
It’s important to reframe the binary vote; Biden isn’t going to “defeat” Trump, and Trump isn’t going to “win” - Biden is holding our hopes for a better future hostage. DNC should be courting our vote, not withholding peace for it.
Wisconsin voters are apparently turning out in similar numbers to utilize their voter power, “Uncommitted”. They need to see that we’re paying attention to the difference between their (empty) words and their (in)actions.
I hope this video and my words help give you the confidence to challenge people in your life who are bogged down in helplessness. I hope that you follow Mehdi on social media - if you aren’t already.
Don’t forget to click your Arab.org links, and talk to someone today about Palestine.
“Hope is not so much a comfort, as a necessary requirement.”

Biden keeps ignoring marginalized traumatized voters and half-assed "hoping" for a ceasefire by Monday as if that's supposed to affect the uncommitted vote like omfg wtf is happening

"But what it really comes down to is that Americans, myself included, are tired of the military industrial complex and the war machine constantly churning and constantly driving. Almost $4 billion a year goes to Israel to provide weapons of war. And our calls are simple. We know that money can be used to foster and develop human life and not end it, whether that’s in America, or in Gaza, or in the West Bank.
So BLOC is part of this call, because at the end of the day, we have to stop the destruction of human life. We believe in the sanctity of human life, we believe that war is wrong. And that’s the intersection of all these issues, that our money as taxpayers are being used to end human life. And we can’t stand for that."

Proud of all the Michiganders who voted “uncommitted”. I’ll be doing the same or “ceasefire now”.
As for the “blue no matter who” morons/blue MAGA screaming that you have to support Biden because Trump is worse, please fuck off and take a few moments to reflect on that. Realize that you’re treating millions of people as expendable to your own comfort. It’s not as if Biden keeps any of his decent promises anyway/he’s been doing conservative shit his whole career. I have problems with his drug policies, healthcare policy, lies about debt cancellation, and anti worker sentiments (his pro union stuff was weak as hell); all of this in addition to the genocide he is happy to participate in. Blue MAGA morons fuck all the way off 🖕
Free Palestine!

"both candidates will be bad for palestine but trump will be worse for everyone else" setting aside the many other ways that biden is terrible, palestinians do not matter less than we do, they are no less deserving of our solidarity, they do not deserve to die just so we don't have to live through another trump presidency. you privileged ghouls only extend your allyship and solidarity to the point it doesn't inconvenience you. if you vote for biden this year, stay out of my life forever. you have just told the world that genocide is not a dealbreaker for you.
the reason liberals are so insistent that you vote for genocide joe and can't shut up about how high the stakes are is that they don't believe in taking any action except voting. they don't believe change is possible outside the electoral system. no matter who is elected this november, the world will continue to get worse, and we will all have an obligation to protect each other. no matter who gets elected, you will need to take action to protect yourself, your family, and your community. you, yes, you reading this right now, need to find a roadmap to survival outside of the framework of electoral politics because *no one* in the US government will do it for you. free palestine. fuck joe biden. fuck donald trump. fuck you if you respond telling me to vote ♥️

“It’s my hope, Mr. President, that you listen to us, that you choose democracy over tyranny.” - Abdullah Hammoud, Dearborn Mayor and Voter
YES! I can't fuckin' believe the media accurately reported this as a protest and printed/publicized the words of the voters explaining why they did it. AND NOBODY HAD TO ATTEMPT SUICIDE! This is big and it could get even bigger! But it's a qualified bigness, because...
Walz, a major supporter of Biden’s reelection campaign, said Michigan’s “uncommitted” results were a healthy demonstration of democracy.
“I think they feel passionate, as they should, about an issue we all care about,” Walz said, adding that he expected most protest voters would eventually return to Biden’s side in a likely November rematch with former President Donald Trump, who himself has struggled with college-educated voters and suburbanites in his ongoing Republican primary against former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.
“I’m much more convinced there’s a chance bringing those folks home is much greater than bringing the ‘Never Trump’ folks back home,” Walz said.
Yeah. I know this song and dance. I've seen it happen in person, at protests, in reatime. They come out to "do voter outreach" and they're all smiles to start. "Yes! Please do continue to act upon your freedom of speech in a way I, an advocate for the status quo, find nonthreatening. Your feelings are valid, ha-ha! I expect nothing to change, and indeed I will act to change nothing, but good for you!" A few folks always believe the message has been received and quiet down, that's why they do it. But wait and see what happens to that smile when a few people start interrupting and yelling, "THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!"
At least this guy's willing to suggest Biden would pick up more votes by moving left than moving right, although I doubt he actually expects anything radical. A few more forgiven student loans or somewhat cheaper drugs aren't much of a problem, and that's leftist too! So we don't really have to worry about the ongoing genocide.
The thing is, if/when this picks up momentum and the DNC starts to think they might have to change something or lose, it will become something other than a positive demonstration of free speech. It'll be childish tantrum-throwing, pointless, uncivil, attention-whoring, astroturfed, counterproductive foreign interference, and whatever else sounds bad. If any of you out there in internet-land already feel threatened by it, you're probably saying that right now. (Go ahead and comment, you'll boost this with other people who think like you, and I might change some minds.)
And, if you are comfortable with it and want voters to do it instead of threatening to withhold votes from Biden in the general, check your privilege. Not every state offers this. Unless something changes real fast (at least, I THINK it hasn't changed, it's hard to do a search when "uncommitted" brings up SO MANY news articles about Michigan 😁), mine won't. I can't do this. I can't vote in a third party primary either. It'd be all blue or nothing. And neither of those things will get me any press, so I gotta keep talking. Maybe I'll motivate someone who can vote uncommitted! Or scare a politician! I still think I'm doing more good by staying alive, and I'm a bit distant from any property I might meaningfully damage (although I am open to suggestions that won't get me arrested and silenced), so this is the only thing I got that won't injure a human being.
Tumblr, no matter how you actually intend to vote, if you're not up for living in a two-party system where both parties think they can do a little genocide and stay in power, you have ways of making yourself heard. There are options beyond falling in line behind the lesser evil. Don't let anyone tell you there aren't. And when you start hearing "stop!" or "you can't!" that means you have something they want. A cessation of hostilities! Well, now you might be in a position to negotiate terms! Don't give up!
Please, please, please don't give up. There is so much to be done.

"If you don't vote for Biden that will be the end of the two party system"
Is the two party system in the room with us right now?

Dismissing third party and non-voters as "Russian bots" or whatever is just another way liberals try to make excuses to ignore very real people (bipoc in particular) and our concerns about this corrupt system. It's extremely racist and shows how little liberals know and understand and how much they need to look deeper into how those in power are actually the ones manipulating you into thinking you have no other choices but blue or red.
