    Oh they only didn’t know whether they wanted to better or worse option. Still pretty goddamn stupid.

      Yeah, also no, and it you’d actually read the original comment, you’d know that. As I said:

      they declined to endorse her, but still urged their supporters not to vote Trump or third-party.

      They knew Trump was worse, they didn’t want Trump to win, but they needed Harris to make a gesture towards the Arab community before they could endorse her; she didn’t, so they didn’t. She didn’t negotiate to get their endorsement, so she didn’t get their endorsement. It’s very funny that you’re acting like everyone else is an idiot yet you still don’t understand this.

          Dude, you need to reread the article, then reread my comment. The Uncommitted movement and Abandon Harris are two different groups.

          I criticized Abandon Harris in my comment for having unrealistic goals for how far they could push Democrats. Uncommitted had much more reasonable requests. Harris completely blew them off, so they couldn’t endorse her, but they still came out with an anti-Trump, anti-third-party statement. Harris could have one their endorsement with some small, most symbolic gestures, and she fucked it up. Losing that endorsement was entirely the Harris campaign’s fault.
