@palestine …every single #Uncommitted vote, 100% vindicated. all because of Democrat fecklessness.
Ah, ce n'est pas une information que les Démocrates se sont empressés de commenter, pas plus que les républicains d'ailleurs, ni aucun média dominant en France.
https://www.commondreams.org/news/harris-gaza
Une études des plus sérieuses (https://www.imeupolicyproject.org/postelection-polling) a révélé mercredi que parmi les 19 millions d'électeurs qui avaient voté pour Biden en 2020 mais pas en 2024, pour plus d'1/3 d'entre eux, c'est la position du gouvernement démocrate de soutien absolu à #Israël qui avait motivé leur choix.
Dans les états qui ont basculé (swing states) de Biden à Trump en 2024, 20% des votants donnent GAZA comme 1ère raison de l'abandon de leur vote démocrate.
En bref, si l’administration #Biden et en particulier le NDC, n'avait pas pris les électeurs arabes, musulmans ou anti-sionnistes comme une force mal organisée et captive, Kamala #Harris serait aujourd'hui la 1ère femme dirigeant les USA.
Mais ça, faut surtout pas en parler, les gens risqueraient de réaliser qu'ensemble 'ils sont puissants et qu'à l'avenir, compter sans eux c'est perdre les élections.
@izumitelj My question still stands unanswered: Where are the #uncommitted and the #uncommitedmovement now? No one protesting against #imperialism of the incoming US administration? No? Yes? Maybe? Not important because no clicks and media attention when you actually have to stand up - or it doesn’t matter because threats are issued towards indigenous people of #Mesoamerica and the #Arctic circle
@ashtime Well you were obviously implicating #uncommitted should all have voted Democrats and Kamala. I believe that the main difference is that you are just now starting to realize that really awful people got power, while #uncommitted already processed that [funding and participating in #genocide really is the end]. Until you realize that those people are your brightest and most passionate comrades, you will get nowhere.
I ask myself where are the #uncommitted when the #dictator they helped to elect is talking invading other countries, flattening #Gaza - while his #billionaire boss is organizing talkshows with actual #nazis? #hypocrisy #idiocracy #propaganda
So, everyone who thought Kamala wouldn't end the situation in Gaza, who's convinced that she tells Biden what to do (both wrong, but whatever)... Stick this in your pipe 'n smoke it. Fools. You should have voted for her. Trump would never have done this for you and you know it. He'll probably also find some way to screw this up, just like he always does. Hope you're happy with the way he's going to trash this country, all because you refused to vote... BTW, a lot of you are going to wind up getting deported. Enjoy the flight home to finding nothing but misery.

The people who discouraged voting are the same people who thought Tulsi Gabbard should be president.
‘The movement is not over’: leaders of #Uncommitted look ahead at organizing during #Trump term
While disappointed, leaders say #Democratic party stuck with ‘status quo’ instead of listening to voter concerns

@drahardja I hope the #Uncommitted folks are dizzy with shame.
#Gaza News:
Biden Administration finally laying down a red line for the #Netanyahu regime: deescalate the attacks on #Palestine, or face suspension of military aid. This comes, as expected, after the death of Sinwar, the stated goal of the Biden administration's involvement in a military operation rife with #WarCrimes, which many consider attempted #genocide by the Netanyahu regime.
While we don't know what change Biden will accept, nor what the consequences will actually be, the situation in Gaza now hinges on the US election: if Harris wins, Netanyahu faces a much more aggressive critic than Biden, but, in the words of one official, "If Trump wins, I guess the Israeli response will say F-You". Trump, an #islamophobic racist, has promised larger bombs and to allow the annexation of not only Gaza, but the #WestBank and parts of #Lebanon.
The question remains: will the #uncommitted "#GenocideJoe" movement turn out to save #Palestinian lives by voting for Kamala Harris?

In your example, I read that they don't disagree on the causal explanation #NakbaHarris => #Uncommitted => #Michigan lost, nor really on which step of it "made more difference".
They do have a moral divergence, though — about which actor was right or wrong.
Are terms like "explanations", "simplification" or "importance of facts" meant to cover this? I'd rather call this differing "values" or "conceptions of ethics".

*Universal* human rights?
Sorry but neither candidate is likely to support that. Only, one will support more rights for a larger group of people.

October 16, 2024
"Less than three weeks from the election, #KamalaHarris is campaigning in Michigan. Will she lose votes over the #Biden administration’s support for #Israel’s war on #Gaza and expanding war on Lebanon? Meanwhile, #Republican candidate #DonaldTrump has opened a new campaign office in the swing state. “It feels like Vice President Harris is not doing what it takes to be both humane and compassionate and sensitive to the political realities in #Michigan that are necessary to engage with in order to beat Donald Trump,” says #AbbasAlawieh, co-founder of the “uncommitted” movement to change #US policy toward Israel and Gaza."

#Uncommitted movement activists and delegates are speaking out to criticize movement leaders for prioritizing party loyalty and media optics over confronting the #DemocraticParty

Waleed Shahid talked in June 2024 about US politics
"The strategy of building a faction both inside and outside the party is responding to the laws of gravity of our political system, but it’s becoming a lot harder, especially electorally, and especially because of this massive amount of spending from AIPAC, from cryptocurrency, and so on. When your candidate is unknown, elections are often built around how much money you can raise to increase your name recognition and to defend yourself from attacks."
"The youth wing of the ceasefire moment is pretty opposed to, or ambivalent about, party politics and electoral politics, and is much more focused on mobilization and disruption in a way that is similar to Occupy Wall Street."
"My hypothesis is that Muslim partisan loyalty to the Democratic Party is much thinner than it is with Jewish Americans, who are part of the Democratic Party for many reasons that have nothing to do with Israel – liberal and democratic values, social justice values.
• Over the years, polls have shown that Jewish voters generally do not list Israel among their top five issues.
• Many Muslims are part of the Democratic Party for its anti-racist values, so when the Gaza war is in contradiction with those values, it’s easy for them to leave."
