Former democratic party activists are organizing Muslims and Arab-Americans in Swing states to vote against Biden with the demand that he support a ceasefire in Gaza.

I’ll allow them a little bit of electoralism this time.

    for the most part I am trying to understand the general consensus around here that “voting is silly lib behavior”,

    While you will get different responses, generally the consensus is “Voting for dems as well as worry about voting on a personal level is silly lib behavior” Voting for a third party and being involved in some organized effort to extract concessions are both fine.

      I see, thanks. That was not a distinction I was aware of; it really did seem to me like third parties are also generally eschewed by this community.

        Well, the community has open contempt for the Libertarians and the Greens, and which third party is best is a matter of conflict, but we have many supporters of the PSL and other socialist parties that do run for office (and I do indeed vote for them, personally).
