When "uncommitted" got a big percentage in Michigan, signs came up in my neighborhood telling people to write in "ceasefire" in the primary. I don't know if this is a sincere effort, or attempts by somebody to split the anti-genocide vote between uncommitted and ceasefire.

It's sincere. Grassroots. At the beginning the campaign was to write in ceasefire and then it became more organized to "uncommitted" as it was actually on the ballot here in Michigan and more likely to not be discarded. Well meaning people just got some wires crossed.

This campaign was cheaply and hurriedly organized in just a few weeks which is why it had low bar expectations and makes it even more impressive it was this successful.

Yeah I'm shocked how successful this is

Luckily Joe Biden has been campaigning for people not to vote for him since he was sworn in.

That's cool. The timing seemed weird because eveyone else is saying vote uncommitted.

It depends which state you live in. Not every state has the uncommitted option.

Bit idea: secretly putting “write in ceasefire” bumper stickers on cars with liberal, conservative, or Zionist stickers (covering the old ones, of course). At best, it convinces someone to do the bare minimum activism. At the other best, it convinces a Zionist to smash into their car lol
