Uncommitted Won't Commit

During the primaries, a pro-Palestinian group called Uncommitted tried to get Democratic voters to vote for their candidates so they could have delegates at the Democratic National Convention. They got a few delegates, but the movement kind of went out—not with a bang, but with a whimper. Now they are back giving election advice. Here it is:

  1. Don't vote for Kamala Harris.
  2. Don't vote for Donald Trump.
  3. Don't vote for a third-party or independent candidate.

So... don't vote at all, then. Having large numbers of people not voting will surely teach Joe Biden a lesson. In some states, it is possible to write in Donald Duck, but in most states write-in votes for any candidate who has not filed as an official write-in candidate are simply thrown out. As far as we know, fictional ducks are not allowed to file in most states.

Groups like this, especially on the "left," have a lot of trouble handling situations where you get a choice between a candidate who is bad (from your point of view) and one who is truly horrendously awful. They don't get it that going for "bad" may not feel good but gets you a better result than voting for truly horrendously awful. (V)
