Moral reasons aside, if a political party thinks it can rely on your support unconditionally, then you’ve lost all political leverage, and it will walk all over you. If your vote has no red lines, you’ve made yourself irrelevant.

Uncommitted, Abandon Biden, and the Muslim & Palestinian communities made it clear what the Democrats had to do to get their votes, and they chose not to do it. They chose to continue aiding & abetting a genocide.

"At this time, our movement 1) cannot endorse Vice President Harris; 2) opposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing; and 3) is not 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 country’s broken electoral college system," the statement continued.
