    We must block Donald Trump, which is why we urge Uncommitted voters to vote against him and avoid third-party candidates that could inadvertently boost his chances

    Isn’t this just saying vote for Harris?

        I guess what they’re trying to say is “We do not endorse this candidate, she doesn’t represent our views, but you need to vote for her anyway because that’s the only choice that will prevent a far worse outcome.”

        But if that’s so, I feel like they probably should have just said it, instead of dancing around the point like this.

          Particularly because some will take that to mean they should vote third party, which given how our shitty electoral system works, is essentially just a vote for Trump in terms of the end result.

      It’s a way to reframe the argument from a vote FOR a milquetoast candidate, to one AGAINST a would-be Dictator.

      Know that none of the 3 possible options for voters will immediately stop Israel’s current terror campaign on Palestinians and the Lebanese.

      Instead, all it does is set up the future environment and Government whom you can influence the actions of. Only ONE option provides an opportunity which could reign Israel back in, and it sure as shit isn’t a possible 2nd Trump administration.

      Yes, but I imagine the roundabout is to maintain pressure.

      I want Kamala to win but I also want her to fix the fucking gaza problem, and she can’t be allowed to forget that.
