On CNN, Donie reports from Chicago about the uncommitted delegates.

These delegates, who are strong supporters of the Palestinian cause, say they appreciate that Vice President Harris displays more empathy than President Biden regarding the situation in Gaza, but they are demanding more than words.

When asked whether their lack of support for Vice President Harris could help usher in another Trump presidency, the delegates, who represent around 700,000 uncommitted voters, say that is a question for the Harris campaign to answer, not them.

They think Trump is sympathetic of the Palestinians??

1. Tone deafness and narrow minded one-dimensional thinking is no way to be in politics or life.

[Irish_Dem]

2. They are fools and not interested in Gaza.

They are working to get Trump elected which would be a much worse deal for them.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. And Trump will likely give Gaza to Bibi, who will not

allow the Palestinians to return. (They were already refugees. Where would they go now?)

[Irish_Dem]

6. Yes. 100% certain they care nothing for Gaza.

They work for someone who wants to elect Trump.

11. Right-wing Israeli officials in the past have suggested the Negev, where water is scarce and little food grows.

The point is to force Palestinians to go to other countries, if any will take that many, or stay and die.

15. These are Democratic elected officials

and many of them have family and friends in Palestine.

[Irish_Dem]

16. I have family and friends in Ireland.

But I am an American first.

I am most certainly not going to burn down the US and destroy democracy
for a foreign country, no matter what my ties are to that country.

And if I am an elected US official my allegiance should be to the US.
I would hang my head in shame if I betrayed the US.

[Eko]

17. They havent

burned down the US and destroyed Democracy and they haven't betrayed the US.

[Irish_Dem]

18. Then they need to get their huge protests the hell away from the DNC.

And stop attacking Kamala.

She is their only chance to get what they want.
But it appears what they want has nothing to do with GAZA.

[Eko]

19. And the Delegates have anything to do with the protests?

Are they there? Did they organize them?

[catbyte]

3. What's with the bullshit? They think the Republicans give a crap about Gaza?

Benedict Donald and Bibi are attached at the hip -- dirty birds of a feather stick together. I care about Palestinians too but come on. Biden and Harris have only so much influence and there's no way in hell that we're going to cut off Israel. Sorry, but these one-issue purists are so tiresome.

5. What do they consider to be the Palestinian Cause ?

[OnDoutside]

7. I don't think they'll vote Dem anyway.

[EYESORE 9001]

9. Well, it *is* the Democratic National Convention

and they are Democratic delegates, so…

[JustAnotherGen]

10. This

If they vote at all. I would be interested in their thoughts on what the two weirdos have done to earn their vote.

[LeftInTX]

21. They're delegates.

[Bad Thoughts]

23. They are delegates FOR Biden, no?

They were committed to his policy supposedly, now they commit political blackmail?

[LeftInTX]

24. Uncommitted. There are only 30 of them.

They may make a stink when the platform comes up for adoption etc.
They can do annoying things like call for a "roll call" vote.

I don't know if they can be escorted out if they become disruptive. Or how disruptive they need to be before they can be escorted out.

[Think. Again.]

8. The delagate roll call was taken weeks ago, Harris was elected the Democratic nominee already.

It's nice to give some thought to what anyone who didn't vote for her might have been thinking, but right now the fight is between Harris and trump.

[betsuni]

12. Hamas are like American Republicans, nothing is their fault. Always blame Democrats. Murc's Law.

[Jersey Devil]

13. No matter how sympathetic Harris might be, she is not the President

To think she would undermine Biden's foreign policy decisions while he is still President is just stupid.

[werdna]

14. It is a non story, because -

A: Harris has all the committed delegates she needs to secure the nomination, and B: the only reason the story ran is because the CNN corporate overlords secure more profits if the election is viewed as a close race. Everything CNN reports concerning the election is to further that end. Very unreliable, irresponsible and self-serving, IMO.

20. There always has to be some asshole throwing a wrench in the works.

Always.

Here we are, on the verge of losing our very democracy in this country, the country where these people live, but somehow that’s secondary to some bullshit that has been going on for a thousand years, thousands of miles from here and has nothing to do with us.

That’s the important thing here. Not keeping up the great momentum and energy we’re building to stave off dictatorship, not keeping this country heading in the right direction, no, that’s not important at all.

I’m sorry but what happens over there is the very least of our worries.

22. They can simply vote for Trump and risk deportation and/or imprisonment. n/t
