plspls_pls_ stop calling each other fascists or astroturfers unless you have a thorough understanding of the uncommitted movement and what u.s. primaries are. there is so much blatant misunderstanding and misinfo going on it’s bad.

edit: if any loser dares call for an uncommitted vote in the general election? i will kick them in the balls (gender neutral) (in minecraft)

"An uncommitted movement will not be called for the general"

Okay, but what if I direct you to people calling for exactly that.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 34 points 8 months ago (1 children)

please do so and i’ll tell them to kick rocks.

(you can’t even vote uncommitted in the general afaik it’s not even an option)

one should direct criticism to those doing the bad thing, not the ones with vague aesthetics of the bad thing when viewed through a bad-faith lens.

Unironically I'm happy to hear this.

Some states allow write-ins for the General.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 15 points 8 months ago

yay!

and yeah, but write-ins are quite distinct from an uncommitted vote.

in an earlier thread someone compared the general to the trolley problem, with a vote for Biden being the lesser of two evils. at the same time, i view the uncommitted movement as a way of trying to get as many people untied from the Biden track as possible.
