The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the largest leftist political organization in the country, endorsed the push for uncommitted votes in Super Tuesday primaries Sunday.
The uncommitted votes are meant to serve as protest against the presidents response to the Israel-Hamas war. The votes express support for a party, but not for any candidate on the ballot.
he endorsement comes after more than 100,000 Michigan voters backed the uncommitted line in the states primary as Biden faces rising pressure from Democrats to back a permanent cease-fire in the conflict.
Until this administration ends its support for Israels genocide in Gaza and delivers a permanent, lasting ceasefire, Joe Biden will bear the responsibility for another Trump presidency, the DSA wrote Sunday in a statement on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Even their adopted star AOC is trying to distance herself from them.

Always the same thing from the pseudos: why don't Democrats stop ignoring the working class [white men] who are all totally socialists and stop, like, being status quo capitalists who could stop all the bad things but don't blah blah blah.

DSA doesn't want the USA to help Ukraine, either.

DSA doesn't even go that far, with their behavior and apparent goals. "None of the above" instead of "one for three."
