Super Tuesday: Will an 'uncommitted' vote risk Biden's reelection? | The Take


In Michigan, 100,000 protest votes have made waves across Democrats’ primary elections nationwide, just as the presidential election season is starting in earnest. The ‘uncommitted’ vote was far more successful than organizers expected. Now that this protest vote is here, and not going away, we look at why these votes matter and where it…

  1. To me – and I just stumbled upon this, and indeed the concept – it sounds like "uncommitted" voters are throwing their vote away. It looks to me like an uncommitted vote is almost like a vote for Trump, b/c there's no antidote for the voters who DO support Trump. Anybody out there: Am I wrong in my assessment? For potential voters BIden may be counting on, he gets a big "nothing" burger (to quote Hillary)!

  2. This guy, Levin, is making me sick!
    (1) To say that he supports the uncommitted campaign but then follow up up with “I am voting for Biden in November no matter what” undermines the campaign and confirms the narrative of Biden that we will vote for him in November regardless. In fact, many of us are voting third party.
    (2) to say that October 7th was horrific without admitting that it’s what palestinians deal with on daily basis is a distortion of facts and selectivity in narration.

  3. Question I was ask, When prices go up who gets hurts & who make money? W all know we get hurt s & make money, that I was asked why democrats vote to raise prices on themself?

  4. If people are mad at Joe Biden about Gaza… Just imagine what DT will do if he's in the White House? There will be no Ukraine and Russia conflict anymore that's for sure. Considering his friendship with Putin Ukraine will be a lost cause as well as any hope for the Palestinians. America needs to stop funding the genocide in Israel but with Donald Trump it will be much worse with a media blackout

  5. Why not vote in this primary for the best Candidate, Marianne Williamson. Even if she doesnt win, if she gets enough votes she can get delegates for the convention and thus have some sway.

  6. I used to work at a pizza place and one of the side duties for the drivers was washing dishes between runs. Everybody hates doing the dishes. There was one driver who made a habit of filling the sinks with absolutely scalding hot water. Hotter than McDonald's coffee in the 90s. Then he would go take a smoke break while the water cooled down. Now the sink was such that you could easily control the temperature of the water and make it hot enough to do the job, but not so hot that you couldn't put your hand in it. So, after observing this a few times, I pulled the driver aside and I said, "I get that you don't want to do the dishes. However by doing this, you aren't solving the issue- you're just putting it off and while you may have gotten yourself out of doing the dishes, you've also stopped anyone else from doing them too. And I was just wondering if you were aware of that."

  7. The difference between John F. Kennedy response to the Soviet Berlin siege vs. GW Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden reaction to the Israelis Gaza Siege reminds me of Senator Lloyd Bentsen statement…."Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy". I will say, Gentlemen, , you're no Jack Kennedy: Meaning. you are no statesmen.

    .

    38,000 meal for 2.3 million people?

    The U.S. is losing control because the president Zionism is more important than the ideals which the country stands for.

  8. Any pro-ceasefire person should be supporting people like Jill Stein, Cornel West or Cenk Uygur instead of suggesting we vote for the 'lesser of two evils Biden'. Those that do have lost their credibility (like Levin): you can't on the one hand say Joe Biden is complicit in genocide and should face the International Court of Justice and on the other, say that we should vote for him- that's insanity. Even worse, it could remove him from any guilt at the ICJ if the same people who are accusing him of war crimes voted for him. People, wake up! Watch out for infiltrators who could be pretending to be anti-war just to persuade people who really are to vote for Biden!

  9. If Trump wins and attempts a Muslim ban, it will the fault of Rashida Tlaib, Uncommitted and everyone else who did not stand against Trump when it mattered.

  10. The fellow speaking in the first half wilfully misunderstands the Zionist policy – which is to steal Arab land and create an apartheid state. It's what they have always worked towards and are currently doing in Gaza and the West Bank. Crocodile tears on the bench.

  11. America's democracy is threatened by both parties. The democratic party shut down the primary and dictated to the American people who their democratic nominee would be. That's as undemocratic as you can get. NOBODY but the democratic party wants Biden. If our Democracy was so threatened by Trump, then Biden should have stepped aside on the get go. He is the one at fault and the party. Not the people who were shoved Biden down their throats.

  12. It’s not the uncommitted vote it’s the BLACK votes that will give Biden the White House again BUT he doesn’t want to give them cash reparations let’s keep honest

  13. Only public pressure can stop the genocide the US and Israel are committing in Gaza. There needs be millions upon millions of people, around the world, protesting the genocide in Gaza. Biden said Gaza is a tragedy. No Biden, it is a crime, and you along with AIPAC are among those culpable for it. Biden could stop the genocide anytime. Instead, he boasts of being a proud Zionist and supplies money and weapons, blocks every attempt by the UN to stop Israel, and advances the lies to excuse war crimes and genocide. A war criminal?

  14. I don’t feel I have anyone I would want to vote for . There has yet to be a good candidate for President in the USA in a very long time and unfortunately none have been benevolent to its citizens and politically and economically with the countries of the global south . I am tired mentally emotionally and physically of having to vite between the lesser of two evils . For the American government to constantly paint itself as the top country in the world , with understanding and in action is more civilized, more knowing , the one who “does the most” when helping the global south and for its own citizens has been a farce long before the 2000’s.

    We as a nation need a breath of fresh air and someone to lead this country with like minded people who have evolved past the game of smoke and mirrors , evolved past murdering innocent civilians via war for the sake of making a point and or fleecing the natural resources of that country .

    There is enough for everyone in this planet this should not be a game of battleship/chess/monopoly/gambling in the live of all living things and human beings that live on this planet.

    Though humans are not free of being infallible , and because of this there could never be a utopian existence does NOT MEAN our only option is for a dystopian existence, we can find the balance . But we need more citizens people to be part of that balance all the way up to the top of the pyramid of power accross the world .

  15. If somebody is voting for Trump, it is Biden himself with this appalling disregard for human lives. Biden seems more committed to Israel than God himself, and this is coming from a self-identified Christian. No further comments.

  16. It is a mistake to believe that it is only young people who are upset by this situation. I am an old white guy, and I am sick and tired of all our politicians (both Democrat and Republicans) being bought off by the Israelis and the MIC.
