Hundreds of Thousands Vote “Uncommitted” Against Biden & Trump

from On Strike! · host On Strike!

Hundreds of thousands of people are voting “uncommitted” in the Democratic Primary, as a rejection of the terrible options being thrust on them in the form of a Biden and Trump rematch this year.  Opposition to the genocidal war on Gaza has been the single most important factor in driving the “uncommitted” vote. But it’s not only the war driving the growing opposition to Biden. In the absence of any other avenue for working and young people to push back against Biden and Trump, the Uncommitted and Abandon Biden movements are also helping to channel the frustrations of young people over many things, such as the cost of living, piling household debt, and chronically underfunded social services.  So the big question is: what can working people, and those opposed to the war on Gaza, do to get organized in the lead-up to November? How do we defeat Trumpism and the right wing? How do we use the anger at Biden reflected in “uncommitted” and Abandon Biden to build the movement for a new party for working people? What is the strategy for the anti-war protests in order to successfully force an end to the horrific war on the Palestinian people? What role does the labor movement have to play in all of this? How can working-class power, particularly the power of strike action be used to stand up against the war on Gaza and the ongoing attacks on working people’s standards of living in the US?
