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.

    You’re asking what’s the difference between a democracy and fascism? That’s that’s what you’re not understanding?

      I’m asking what mechanism is available to Trump that would allow him to be all-powerful that isn’t also available to Biden. This is the same fallacious argument pointed out in Eco’s Ur Fascism, where fascists claim their enemy is both weak and strong at the same time, except applied to a political position rather than a specific person.

      Can you make an actual argument without solely relying on emotionally charged abstract concepts?
