Read the article - the headline is not accurate at all. Nowhere does Biden actually call for a ceasefire. They merely mention ongoing negotiations related to one.
Preciate it :)
Hilarious you think that was because of uncommitted voters.
hilarious of you to think that it made no difference. if democrats admitted that it did, then they would be giving away the only that really scares them, not being liked and voted for!
ROFL…. Okay… you keep pointing and saying “we did that!” while the rest of us understand that this is part of how these things work.l
If you understood basic economics you would see that this is a tactical approach to getting our elected leaders to do what needs to be done. I have something they want/need. They have the power to affect change the way that me and a lot of other people want. Its called bargaining. If they want what we have, our consent, then they have to earn it. Don’t they like to call this country a meritocracy? We know they won’t keep their promises after they get our vote. they don’t need us after that so why would I so easily give up the only bargaining chip I have when there is no sign they will perform
You still honestly think this wouldn’t have happened if a bunch of kids didn’t pout and whine on the internet?
100,000 people in michigan is just a bunch of kids whining and pouting on the internet? good try at badjacketing though.
and its not stopping. in washington the UFCW 3000 are endorsing uncommitted in the primary. so working class union members are whiny pouty children? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/washington-s-largest-labor-union-endorses-uncommitted-primary-vote-in-rebuke-to-biden/ar-BB1jaQPE I’ll save you a click:
The union’s executive board reached the endorsement decision on Wednesday night.
“Currently, many voters, and UFCW 3000 executive board, feel that the best path to have the best nominee, and to defeat Trump, is to vote ‘uncommitted,’” the union said in a statement. “The hope is that this will strengthen the Democratic party’s ultimate nominee to defeat Trump in the General Election in November.”
“We need a nominee who can run and beat Trump to protect workers across this country and around the world,” the statement continued.
With over 50,000 members, the union is a force to be reckoned with as Biden seeks to win over voters in the primary contest.
The president is facing an uphill battle as he seeks to mobilize the broad coalition of Americans who delivered his 2020 White House win. His continued supply of weapons and diplomatic cover for Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza is one of the major sticking points for young voters and voters of color.
Just this week, more than 100,000 Michigan primary voters cast their ballots “uncommitted” in solidarity with Gazans under siege after a three-week campaign. Biden won the swing state by just over 150,000 votes in 2020.
“We stand in solidarity with our partners in Michigan who sent a clear message in their primary that Biden must do more to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Biden must push for a lasting ceasefire and ending US funding toward this reckless war,” the Washington union said.
None of that matters when you understand that this was already going to happen regardless. Just like how Israel was going to attempt/commit genocide regardless of what Biden did.
Most people know that with all things- there something called “nuance.”
We’re done here. I’m not arguing with you about this.
Just like how Israel was going to attempt/commit genocide regardless of what Biden did.
We sanctioned russia for what they did in Ukraine. Personally, I am disgusted but not surprised that we are actively funding this genocide with our taxpayer dollars. Genocide is being done in our name. I’m not about that and i don’t most americans are either.
Most people know that with all things- there something called “nuance.”
Most people don’t want to be a party to genocide. If you do, you can give money directly to israel if you want but we will keep pushing the issue that we shouldn’t be paying for ethnic cleansing, genocide, coups, and all the other shit that this govt gets up to. Its not like any of that is new either. America was originally a colonial project just like israel.
