"damn, you're uncommitted? is there anything i can do to convince you?"
"yes"
"ah, well, nonetheless..."
"yes"
"you are a russian and, frankly, racist"
In US America pro-democracy activists are defying the regime by refusing to vote for supreme leader Joseph Biden in the sham elections that were organised by the ruling party to shore up support for mr. Joseph.
BEIJING, China - In what is broadly seen as a rejection of the communist regime, Chinese citizens have been writing in 'Uncommitted' on their ballots in lieu of having any other candidate. This is not expected to have any tangible results, as the regime still refuses to hold fair, impartial elections. Western observers were quick to criticize the actions as undemocratic, however the party has made no official comment on either the voting patterns or the obvious public desire for choice.
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
God this actually feels as good if not better than when Bernie was winning. It doesnt give this pretend sense of hope but rather a cathartic spite
They did this to themselves and, while we'll all pay for it, i'll have the pleasure of screaming i fucking told you so til the very end.
I tried to stop all of this with that essay I wrote in 8th grade about the Patriot Act, but does anyone ever listen??
Right? I was screaming at people about USAPATRIOT back in 2002 or 2003. Some people got it, so many more didn't. Twenty fucking years of politics and activism and all I have to show for it is PTSD and despair.
Similar path for me. Plus some stress related grey hair. Good times. 0/10.
Uncommitted has been found dead of a heart attack, somehow.
Uncommited gained 5 delegates in Minnesota 
o7 love to see the candidate i voted for reach the top of the polls
Key Midwest swing states dunking hard on 
.
Wisconsin votes April 2. Very swingy state as well.
A Wisconsin advocacy group is urging Democratic voters to list themselves as “uninstructed” on the state’s upcoming April presidential primary ballot in protest of President Joe Biden’s handling of Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza.
The move follows a similar campaign in Michigan that ultimately resulted in more than 100,000 Democrats listing themselves as “uncommitted” on the state’s primary ballot last month.
“We are incredibly incensed by the fact that (Biden) has been unequivocally supportive of the genocide against the Palestinian people and the people in Gaza and he continues to arm Israel,” said Janan Najeeb, one of the organizers for Listen to Wisconsin, the group organizing the “uninstructed” campaign. “We know that (the United States is) the main supporter of Israeli armaments, and we could have ended this a long time ago.”
They are burying the UNCOMMITTED by making them footnotes instead of beating out Dean Philips and Orb lady.
I remember Stewart calling this shit out with the media's erasing of Ron Paul
They are panicking!
MOAR RESULTS
North Carolina 12.7% NO PREFERENCE
Massachusetts 9.4% NO PREFERENCE
Colorado 8.0% NONCOMMITTED
I don't know if there is an UNCOMMITTED spot in California.
The specific ballot language for the uncommitted vote varies: Minnesota voters have the "uncommitted" vote option on their primary ballots, Colorado has a "non-committed delegate" option, while Massachusetts and North Carolina have a "no preference" option.
In Virginia, voters looking to cast a protest vote are asked to vote for Marianne Williamson (even thou she's pro Zionist) the Democratic longshot challenger to Mr. Biden.
After Super Tuesday, there are campaigns for the uncommitted vote in Georgia and Washington, which have primaries on March 12.
Virgina - 7.8% Orb lady / UNCOMMITTED
Oklahoma, ballots don't have a "no preference" choice and also don't allow write-ins.
Oklahoma - 9.1% Orb lady / UNCOMMITTED
WRT California look how fucked up that state's primary is. They need to open that shit up
We aren't going to see the numbers because they give them no option. They have a jungle primary so its going to be another 3-5% spread across a dozen randos. 40% in and Cenk isn't even showing on the radar. Get fucked Cenk.
How do California Democrats vote for Gaza ceasefire in primary?
Snip
The Secretary of State’s office says that only votes for Biden, the seven other official candidates on the Democratic ballot or the six certified write-in candidates will be counted for the presidential race.
But leaving the presidential race blank or “editorializing” by writing in another name or phrase won’t invalidate the rest of your ballot, unless it “impedes tabulation,” in which case it will be set aside and reviewed by election officials.
Besides registered Democrats, no party preference voters can also cast ballots in the primary if you request a Democratic presidential ballot.
To minimize the risk of invalidating one’s vote, California leaders with the Council on American-Islamic Relations told CalMatters they are calling for Democratic voters to leave the presidential race blank and make sure to vote in other contests.
Al Jabbar, secretary of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, California PAC: “We are asking all of our voters to vote down-ballot, and many of them are looking for candidates who are asking or calling for a ceasefire…. We don’t want to take the risk of affecting other down-ballots, especially with tight Senate and congressional races.”
Remember a couple years back when some paper listed results at random to put puke dog-killer in the first position when bernie actually won whatever it was handily?
We love to see it.
Let's GO!!!!
IT'S ELECTABLE IF YOU VOTE FOR IT
Orb Lady Bros are being sexist against Joe Biden.
See you at the convention Joe!
Embrassing for Brandon
UNCOMMENTUM BABYYYY
And that's with MN native Dean Phillips stealing 8 percent of the Biden hate vote
He's just younger Biden with a fresh 2 terms. Pragmatic to some libs.
the democrats punishment kink is starting to get out of hand
I wanna make a "keep it in the bedroom" joke but nothing is coming to me here
funny number haha. 69.4 more like 69.420 hahaha.
Saw a lib Youtuber claim that people were much more enthusiastic about Biden than about Trump because Biden won his primaries by a larger percentage. Motherfucker, he ran unopposed. Just made me want to scream.
I heard that exact claim straight from a Biden campaign official on NPR the other day lol
