Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) shares his message to voters in the Uncommitted Movement who are considering not voting in the presidential race over the Biden administration's handling of Israel.
I agree, the US resolution was not good. That being said, they’ve voted in favor of the other 2 resolutions put forward by other countries since then.
And I’m sorry, but in a two party system, withholding your vote for 1 candidate is a vote for the other one. Conservatives, since the moment this country was founded, have attempted to deny our dissuade voting to people. Now those people who they have been attempting to deny are just doing it themselves voluntarily.
I also really do not like the “stop relying on black and brown people” rhetoric. Is it true that the majority of white people are conservative while the majority of POC are progressive? Yeah. But that doesn’t mean the white progressives are relying on POC to “save [our] asses.” If we’re being honest, as a cis straight white middle class male I’ll probably be fine under a Trump presidency. I’ll pay more for goods and probably have my taxes go up, but so will 99% of the population. What I’m voting for though is the desire to lift every single person up and create an even playing field for everyone. Is it going to happen under a Harris presidency? Hell no. Is it going to happen in my lifetime? Probably not. But by voting Dem are we going to get just that little bit closer? Yes. But that’s definitely not going to happen under a Trump presidency, because they will do absolutely everything they can to prevent progress. In fact, they will do everything they can to enact regression as far back as they can. Most Republicans would be perfectly fine with only Anglo -Saxon male land owners being able to vote, and that’s what they’re striving for.
So hold your vote, that’s your right. But that’s not what your responsibility should be.
