In a careful Thursday statement, the ā€œUncommittedā€ movement decried the Republican presidential nominee and third parties who could help him win while expressing frustration with Democrats.

The ā€œUncommittedā€ movement seeking a change in the Democratic Partyā€™s approach to the war in Gaza on Thursday announced it is not ready to support Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris ā€” while urging voters not to back Republican nominee Donald Trump or third-party candidates who could help Trump win the November election.

The ā€œUncommittedā€ group ā€œopposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing,ā€ the statement continues. Additionally, the group is ā€œnot recommending a third-party vote in the Presidential election, especially as third party votes in key swing states could help inadvertently deliver a Trump presidency given our countryā€™s broken electoral college system.ā€

    CaNt YoU SeE tHE DiFeReNcE? (This was annoying to type on mobile.)

    A for effort

    Somehow thereā€™s many situations we canā€™t do anything about (like our politicians cannot even show disapproval over rape country called Israel even though we are their biggest benefactors) yet somehow not voting Democrat is the end of the world.

    Was listening to a WTYP episode about stealth jets, and they priced all the different kinds of aircraft in ā€œmultiples of ending national povertyā€. ($10B is the current working figure)

    The F-22s we used to shot down Chinese weather super spy balloons came in at 20x the cost. Thatā€™s the only combat mission the plane has flown since it entered service over a decade ago.

    Why canā€™t they admit they have to think of their own interests first

    These numbers are so big and these systems are so vast that itā€™s easy to lose sight of them entirely. The idea that we could all live very comfortable happy lives if a tiny minority were to stop the war profiteering is very difficult for your retail Democrat voter to grasp.

      Interesting story. I do wonder if any of this equipment was made to be used or is there ā€œjust in case.ā€

      This is a great summary of the issue.
