#us primaries

Reminder: In an election like this, where the incumbent is running and a favorite to win, it is IMPERATIVE that you use your primary vote to make a statement, if you can. Biden and Trump are both unlikely to be replaced by a another candidate, barring age-related medical emergencies, so you aren't throwing a vote that "could have gotten him in" if you vote for someone else or write in "ceasefire."

Primaries is where you vote for what you want. General elections, in November, are to vote for what is less likely to kill you.

(I was going to say 'for what you can live with,' but for some people this year, they are in fact legitimately struggling with 'how can I live with myself if I vote for this candidate' in relation to specific current events.)

This is a map of states with open primaries. An open primary means that you can vote without being a registered party member. In a state with closed primaries or a caucus, you must be a registered party member to vote in the party's primary.

There's a widespread, very active campaign in Michigan, ands less active in other states, to make a statement about Biden risking swing states by not pursuing a ceasefire more actively. If you can vote, especially in a primary, and you haven't yet... consider writing in 'ceasefire' on your primary ballot.

Also call your reps.

Found out yesterday that despite me telling my family to vote in the primaries over our group chat, no one besides my step sister and her boyfriend did.

Hell yeah you're invited to the holidays. Everyone else get out of my FACE. Jesus fucking Christ and I don't even fucking follow Christ.

Hey remember when I said there was a trans genocide? And I can't even get my own family to vote to keep their OWN current rights and liberties and someone who will actually fight for THEM? Yeah that fucking sucks.

Uncommitted

Across Maryland at farmers’ markets, mosques, and through phone calls, dozens of activists are encouraging opponents of Israel’s assault on

Across Maryland at farmers’ markets, mosques, and through phone calls, dozens of activists are encouraging opponents of Israel’s assault on Gaza, which has resulted in over 33,000 Palestinian deaths, to vote for “Uncommitted” in the state’s May 14 primary election.

Hena Zuberi, a leader of the Listen to Maryland coalition which is spearheading the movement, told the Baltimore Beat, “By selecting ‘uncommitted’ on the ballot, we are protesting to inform President Biden that we do not support his funding of war and genocide,” said the Howard County resident and mother of four.

The “Uncommitted” movement in Maryland views voting as a key tactic to push for a ceasefire. It is supported by Jewish Voice for Peace Action (the 501(c)(4) sister organization of Jewish Voice for Peace), chapters of the Democratic Socialists of America, and others.

There’s no apparent end in sight to the conflict that’s entered its sixth month. It has destroyed much of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure and internally displaced hundreds of thousands of Gazans.

As Biden has won resounding victories in the primaries, over half a million people, or about one in ten Democrats, have chosen “uncommitted,” “uninstructed,” or “no preference” in primaries across states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut (as of April 5). Supporters argue this is the reason some Democrats — such as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and some senators — who had previously opposed ceasefire have recently changed their position.

“Real change never takes place from the top on down. It always takes place from the bottom on up. It takes place when ordinary people, by the millions, are prepared to stand up and fight for justice. That’s what the history of the trade-union movement is about. That’s what the history of the women’s movement is about. That’s what the history of the civil-rights movement is about. That’s what the history of the gay-rights movement is about. That’s what the history of the environmental movement is about. That’s what any serious movement for justice is about.”
