The āUncommittedā movement seeking a change in the Democratic Partyās approach to the war in Gaza on Thursday announced it is not ready to support Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris ā while urging voters not to back Republican nominee Donald Trump or third-party candidates who could help Trump win the November election.
The āUncommittedā group āopposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing,ā the statement continues. Additionally, the group is ānot recommending a third-party vote in the Presidential election, especially as third party votes in key swing states could help inadvertently deliver a Trump presidency given our countryās broken electoral college system.ā
So youāre saying I should still vote for infanticide? I donāt want that kind of blood on my hands. Thatās the issue in the Trolley Problem.
Not voting is just allowing the worse option which still puts blood on your hands. Inaction still has consequences.
We donāt live in a world where we have the ability to be completely pure, itās an option that simply doesnāt exist unfortunately. :(
We need some way to denote ānot gloating.ā
The joke of the modern American electoral system is that all the āviableā candidates are bloody. And if you abstain from voting or vote third party, youāre accused of supporting the winning candidate, regardless of your personal politics.
That is, I think, a big part of what drives the street protests. Americans who donāt want to be complicit in this barbarity have no other actionable way to express their condemnation.
