A Few Words to Those Currently 'Uncommitted' to Voting for Harris | Common Dreams

Outrage over Biden administration’s Middle East policy, and Harris’s support for it, is fully warranted. Full stop. It is also obvious that Trump would be no friendlier, no kinder, and no more interested in bringing an end to Palestinian suffering.

      Yeah the supreme Court decided the election the last time around when it was close, within my lifetime! I was saying many months ago that if the Democrats are serious about wanting to win they should really be packing that thing well before the election. 🤦‍♀️

      So much talk about the fear of the election being stolen, yet we’re weirdly eager to forget that it already happened less than 30 years ago.

      Trump stealing the election by, say, Florida not counting black votes, would not be an unprecedented event in modern American history.

    This election is so 2016 flavored that it’s killing me inside. I don’t think I’m gonna watch the election night coverage even.

    if there are “uncommitted” voters then we also have “uncommitted” politicians as well

    the unenthusiastic voters are looking for an enthusiastic candidate that wants change as much as they do

      Sure, but that’s super naive. Holding out against a dem in this election reaffirms the recent defeats or progressives in their primaries. That means the entire US Overton window shifts back further right for a decade

        What if I’m unable or unwilling to see anything past the end of my own nose?

        Well, you keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting things to change. I won’t.

          I keep breathing yet the world hasn’t changed. I guess I should stop breathing. That’s some fantastic logic.

          What exactly are you planning to do differently? Voting third party has an even worse track record at changing things. The same is true for sitting out the vote. Electing Democrats has been the only strategy that has achieved anything at all. So, what’s your brand new plan to save democracy?
