Ok and? Is there a problem with posting leftist content?

No, the problem is that if you look about, this has been spammed out like 1000 times to the lemmy main feed by accounts made in the last week or 2 like it’s some disinformation campaign.

For all we know, you’re part of it.

(Oh, & don’t lecture me on Palestine or whatever. I actually don’t care. You asked, you receive.)

Ok. This article was from today but I understand your sentiment. Now why would I lecture you on palestine?
I wasn’t taking any chances on having a feed filled with “you’re evil, Palestine labor X Z P etc”.
Always. Centrists hate everything to their left because they don’t like people challenging their attempts to move to the right.
Yeah, that’ll show 'im.
Uncommitted = suicidal

Not a huge deal when compared to the last primary for a incumbent democrat president getting similar enough results.

For reference in 2012 with Obama, who had no opponents in the primary, got ~11% undecided in around 195,000 votes.

Whereas Biden got 13.2% undecided, while facing Dean Philips and Marianne Williamson, with way more voters with 760,000+ this time.

So, a difference of ~2%-2.5% with conditions not related to the protest boosting those numbers. Not much to write home about I would say, but something Biden still has to focus on to help himself regardless.

Doesn't really mean much considering most would probably vote for for Biden anyway, seeing how this is more of a protest vote and Trump being the challenger again. And Trump being worse for not just Gaza but women's rights, trans people, and the general state of Democracy in this country.
