I’m just going to explain the idea behind the push to vote uncommitted. The Democratic primary is more or less a show, since the democratic party refused to hold a proper primary. Therefore most ballots are between no-name Democrats, Biden, and the addition of uncommitted to vote for nobody. You, me, Biden, the other candidates, and everyone knows that Biden will get the primary win.
Voting uncommitted sends the signal “I don’t like the values of anyone on the ballot”. This uncommitted campaign acknowledges that Biden will be running against Trump with no real recourse, while telling Biden and the democratic party to shape up and stop supporting genocide. Then in the general we vote to prevent a fascist dictator from taking over and keep up the pressure through community organizing after the election.
The Democratic primary is more or less a show, since the democratic party refused to hold a proper primary.
It’s ‘more or less a show’ because there’s an incumbent running and no politician with any sense or career aspirations is challenging an incumbent president in a primary; not because the Democratic Party decided they were just going to skip the primary this year for funsies. If it was that easy for the DNC to skip out when they wanted to, Hillary would have been crowned without opposition in 2015-2016.
Otherwise, good writeup.

I thought this was a programmer meme at first and was wondering about OP’s sanity…
git checkout Democrats && git rebase Uncommitted

Remember kids! You can’t vote because kids can’t vote! But once you are of age, you will get to save democracy every time you vote by saying yes to the lesser of to evils. The system is perfect and there is no reason to voice any discontent.

AND if you continue to grow and understand that a vote for noncommited during a primary scares you, there is something seriously wrong. Noncommited is saying something here and at an appropriate time. That’s how that works, jack.

This is the meme of the thread we are in, yes?deleted by creator
What does what you have to do with the meme? There are campaigns of propaganda out there that say the economy is great, and that you should not question or protest. I’m talking about them.
If that bothers you, you’re one of them.
