I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb.

    There is a large difference. The “uncommitted” movement, a group of pro-Palestinian, anti-war Democrats who led the push to cast protest votes against President Biden during the primaries, declined to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for the White House, but also said they would not encourage supporters to stay home or vote for third-party candidates. OK, so don’t stay home or vote third party. What are they actually advocating for? Surely not Trump. They must be implying to vote Harris without endorsing her because, again, that gives up their leverage.

    Here’s another article about the same thing. At the same time, the movement’s leaders stressed that they oppose Donald Trump and are not recommending that supporters vote for a third-party candidate because doing so could help elect Trump. …“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

    So yeah, I’m not putting words in their mouth. You just aren’t listening and are nieve.

      There is zero difference whatsoever. None at all. Liberals just like to pretend there is to assuage their consciences. Nobody reasonable actually gives a shit about your purely rhetorical and semantic distinctions.

      The “uncommitted” movement, a group of pro-Palestinian, anti-war Democrats

      I asked for Palestinian organizations, not an organization of American Democrats. Is there anyone who is currently seeing Biden’s bombs drop on their homes who wants you to vote Kamala?

        I literally give you evidence of a group not supporting Harris but also saying not to vote for Trump, third party, or abstain and you say there’s no difference. What other option is there? I’m pretty confident that only leaves Harris, without officially endorsing her. Could you expand on what other options are left?

        Stop sea-lioning.

        There’s plenty like this:

          Right, they said they weren’t endorsing Harris while also endorsing Harris. It’s standard liberal doublethink, y’all think if you play around fancy enough with words, it can allow you to take both positions and avoid having to make difficult or controversial decisions. But it’s just rhetoric, semantics, and equivocation. Nobody, least of all anyone in a position of power, gives a shit about whether you use the word “endorse” or not so long as you do everything that an endorsement entails, voting for them and telling other people to vote for them. It’s a distinction without a difference.

          Stop sea-lioning.

          Sea-lioning isn’t a real thing.

          An open letter from 100 people is not an endorsement from a major Palestinian organization. Here’s an open letter from Muslim leaders telling people to vote third party.

            I’m done. You just ignore anything that doesn’t conform to your beliefs and nothing will change your mind. You don’t care you dies. You just want to feel superior to other people. I hope you become a better person in the future.

              If “becoming a better person” means “refusing to draw a red line against genocide,” then don’t hold your breath. I’ll always do that, I can promise you that. I would sooner die.
