Disgruntled progressive activists and organizations have embarked on a campaign to push voters to mark themselves “uncommitted” in protest of Biden’s stance on the Israel-Hamas War.

With 95% of the expected vote tabulated, 70.5% of voters backed Biden while 19.0% went uncommitted, according to a tabulation by The Associated Press.

In Minnesota, more than 45,000 marked themselves “uncommitted” — a number greater than the margin by which Hillary Clinton defeated Donald Trump in the state in 2016.

    Every single person that you manage to convince to protest vote during the primary, will be more likely to stay home on election day. That’s good for team Trump, and they’d be in favor of anything and everything that makes Biden look weak, or anything that discourages getting the vote out.

    This is shitty, leaves no room for nuance, but is reality nonetheless.
