That's also why there is no point in it. Change can only happen if the results are not pre-determined.

They couldn't even meet their goal in Michigan. They sure as hell ain't meeting that goal in Minnesota. Especially when Tim Walz starts encouraging people to vote for Biden.

Sure, I do it all the time.

The difference is you criticize the online left for absolutely harmless and even beneficial stuff, like this very campaign. The primary is the correct time to express grievances with the establishment so they have a chance to consider course-correcting in the general, and Biden could really stand to stop uttering bafflingly stupid shit like, "no Jew in the world would be safe if not for Isreal."

I voted for Eban Cambridge for the California primary, but when he loses I'll vote for Biden.

They don't necessarily know that. There's not pandemic going on right now and there wasn't a well known genocide from an ally when Trump was president.

I'm still baffled at what the objective is here

"he should feel pressured to listen on the issue" You are aware every other option on the table, that you would use to "pressure" him, is objectively worse, yes?

like not only would you -still- not get a ceasefire, but now things are straight up fucked here, too. Good job?

Will they is the question. Odds are they start brainwashing themselves into thinking they are right and skip voting, even if only 30% of them do it, it could let the orange idiot win.

-Trump wins. Continues bombing campaign. 2025 kicks off into high gear. A variety of bland generic evils are enforced on this end of the pond as the right wing gets more in motion.

But you can pat yourself on the back and say you performed an empty gesture of support.

Good work.

I do wish more leftists would realize that voting is supposed to be a tool to enact positive change. That's why voting for the lesser evil is an actual thing in politics.

Personally, I think the candidate who's close to perfection would be AOC.

She would never win an election though, so called "moderates" would never vote for her.

Us hasn't sent any weapons to Israel since beginning of February or January right? And Biden admin is pushing for a ceasefire right?
If the aid package in the house fails and no more weapons go through as well, does that count as Biden doing what they want?

As a Minnesota who already voted for Biden in the primary, if they want to vote uncommitted, then fine. In the primaries you vote with your heart and in the general you vote with your brain.

Biden has been unconstitutionally bypassing Congress to sell weapons to Israel.

Calling for a ceasefire is such pointless virtue signaling though. Unless there is already a plan set in stone ready to go off the moment the ceasefire starts to get the civilians out of there and countries ready to take them in, all a ceasefire is going to do is delay deaths. Both sides want to continue, its not a matter of if, but when the ceasefire will be broken.

Yes, when was the last time a sale went through? I think it's been a few weeks since it last happened. If no more continues, and the aid bill doesn't go through, does that fulfill what people want
