My friends, I am not at all exaggerating when I tell you that there is still plenty of time for the Democratic Party to lose this election to a travshammockery nazi assclown billionaire; you don't even have reliable polling data back from the Harris switch yet and this is where you're going?
“Shut Up, Asshole”: Democrats Want Delegates Frustrated by Gaza Policy to Just Fall in Line
"Last night, the Michigan Democratic Party held a call asking delegates to rally around Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s nominee after President Joe Biden stepped out of the race. During the call, two uncommitted delegates—chosen by voters protesting against Biden’s failure to push for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza—said they would not endorse Harris until they knew her policy on aid to Israel. According to a recent Gallup poll, 55 percent of Americans disapprove of Israel’s actions in Gaza, and only 36 percent are supportive.
Delegate Abbas Alawieh, who is an organizer with the Uncommitted Movement, tried to explain his position on last night’s Michigan Democratic Party Zoom call. He says he was told to “shut up, asshole”—an incident which he says is symptomatic of anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian racism within the party. Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lavora Barnes said the incident was “unacceptable,” and that “in this moment, we want to reiterate that our Arab American and Muslim brothers and sisters are welcome in this party.”
Can you hear me in the back? "Shut up, asshole" and essentially telling the majority of Dem voters who're against Israel's genocide in Gaza that "we don't need you" (paraphrase) is WHY you were losing in the first place. It is not the job of the decent human beings working within the party, who are in agreement with the majority of Democratic voters about the odiousness of supporting a literal genocide, as the ICJ progresses forward on multiple cases proving America is supplying a war criminal with the means to slaughter children, to "fall in line." It is the so-called centrist warmonger establishment's job to fall in line with the positions of their *own* base or risk blowing yet another winnable election to a reality TV show fascist dipshit who would not otherwise be able to win.
Get your shit together; the voters *cannot* be wrong. It's your job to get them to vote for your candidate. That's just how elections work you insufferable pricks. "Shut up, asshole" is how you lose anyway, even after ejecting Biden.

As Vice President Kamala Harris marches toward the nomination, the Uncommitted Movement is pushing for policy commitments on aid to Israel. But some members of the party just want them to stop talking about it.
