Uncommitted, the national group ... took a big step Tuesday toward encouraging supporters to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Uncommitted’s shift could be significant in a key swing state, Michigan, which has more than 300,000 residents of Middle Eastern or North African ancestry. Polling of those voters is scant, but anecdotal information indicates many are reluctant to vote for Ms. Harris, and some are shifting to third-party candidates like the Green Party’s Jill Stein.

So they realize a second Trump term would be terrible (as if no one had been saying that), but many are still going to throw their swing state vote away for Jill Stein. Big brain move right there. 🤦‍♂️

Here's hoping they can undo some of the damage they've done with this hare-brained "uncommitted" movement and get people lined up behind a candidate that can actually win. I swear: single-issue voters are going to be the death of us all.

It's like nobody understands any amount of game theory. Real life is complicated, demanding instantaneous perfection is the enemy of progress
