If the uncommitted people are helping Trump it’s only because Biden refuses to listen. He’s been like this the whole time though, during the last election he spent more time pandering to the people who will never vote for him than he did listening to the people who actually voted for him. And he’s still doing it.
Fetterman can get bent. I shouldn’t be surprised that some white dude is standing up for another white dude. Keep on failing up guys, see how that works out for you.
Been looking forward to your take on the uncommitted movement and, as always, it's thoughtful, thorough, realistic and empathetic. Thank you for your words!
Do you know that one of your subscribers is out here wishing death on other subscribers? Is this Blue MAGA violence OK with you?
“Kate Engberg replied to your comment on "Uncommitted" is being deliberately misread .
Again, fuck you. I fucking hate all of you who think there is a reasonable option at this point besides Biden. I hope you all die slow, painful deaths while watching Herr Pumpkinfuhrer speak. DIE, DIE, DIE!!!!!🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻”
Thank you so much. I feel like I've been losing my mind lately. One thing is for sure - these "Vote blue no matter who" Biden libs are indistinguishable from the "only trump can save us" maga base.
Yep I call them Blue MAGA. They act exactly like Trumpers. Only praise, no criticism, he can go ahead and change what words mean to make it seem like he’s doing a good job and they cheer for it.
I enjoyed throwing that “vote blue no matter who” back in their face when they kept blaming Sinema and Manchin for Biden’s failures. That’s what you get when you vote for party over policy.
Totally agree. The party over country mindset is a serious flaw in our political system. It’s the old “you’ve gotta win first BEFORE you can fix what’s wrong,” presumption. Then what’s wrong gets normalized and the winning party loses all incentive to address it.
President Biden’s admitted anti-abortion beliefs, on the other hand, give me hope. He is CAPABLE of not imposing his religious beliefs on us. There is integrity there. Now if we could only help him see that his Zionism is doing just that: imposing his personal/religious beliefs on a nation that profoundly rejects them.
In addition, I did NOT delete the comment. Most likely it was removed by the Substack author. Less likely that Substack did it — their threshold barely exists.
Oh did you delete the post where you told me you wanted me to die Kate? Yes I know the blue team wants us useless eaters to die that’s why you cheer for genocide Joe.
I do appreciate that you put your whole name here for when I report you for threatening voters. This is the democracy you think we should save? Death threats?
You did. And I am not reading more abuse from you.
This is copied from my e-mail notification I suggest you stop harassing me this is voter suppression and harassment, just like the MAGAts you pretend you aren’t this is so Blue MAGA Kate go seek help for your violent rantings:
“Kate Engberg replied to your comment on "Uncommitted" is being deliberately misread .

And I specifically remember them laughing at the Trump voters in 2020 who were claiming that only Trump could save them from the mess that was make while he was in charge, but it’s perfectly reasonable to claim that Biden will save reproductive rights that were lost while he was in charge? If he can do that why is he waiting until 2025 while women are dying?
Because it’s delusional.
I also spent a lot of time laughing at Trump voters who voted against their own survival. The red hats who required the ACA to continue living who were voting against continuing the ACA. Why would I want to become one of those people and vote for more of the Covid genocide against medically vulnerable people when I am one of those people?
Completely agree. It's been maddening. And seeing that article come out this week where Biden announced to the world - in a voting year!! - that he's not pro choice when roe is literally the main reason they've been telling us to vote for them!! He's working overtime to crash and burn spectacularly.
Also please don’t forget New Hampshire had a cease-fire write in campaign. The only reason I didn’t vote for cease-fire is because I didn’t hear about it until after I send my ballot in because I vote absentee.
Great article. I have a question tho, for anyone willing to answer, how cognisant do you realistically think Biden is? I mean he seems like he has no idea what is going on half the time and it does make me wonder how this is effecting everything. So my basic question is; do you think Biden is even conscious and aware of what’s going on or do you think he is so unaware and that people behind the scenes are just running things? How do you think this affects the democratic response to the genocide in Gaza? Thank you in advance to anyone who responds!
We gotta remember how stubborn and unmovable W was about the Iraq War. He wasn’t stupid or senile, he was stubborn and totally committed to it, and would not listen to anyone who suggested he do otherwise. He was “going with his gut” and he saw in religious terms.
Biden feels similarly about Israel in Gaza. He’s not using any political calculus—he’s a lifelong Zionist, and a zealous one at that. He has always been enthusiastically pro-Israel, and has never given Palestinian liberation much thought. His advanced age only makes him less amenable to changing course.
I mean, he looks at our healthcare system in shambles and still won’t even pay lip service to M4A. He sees how salient (and politically viable) the fight for abortion rights is, and he continually reminds people that “he’s a practicing Catholic” and “doesn’t want abortion on demand.”
It’s not so much his senility that’s the problem, it’s that he’s an old stubborn man who thinks he’s knows better than everyone else. I mean he also may be senile, but even in his most lucid moments, he’s still unmovable on these issues.
Any faith we put in him changing course in a meaningful way I think is just a hopeful projection on our part. The Zionist mission is VERY important to him. 😐
“It’s not so much his senility that’s the problem, it’s that he’s an old stubborn man who thinks he’s knows better than everyone else.” CORRECT!!! Mediocre (bc not being able to see straight in Gaza is leadership mediocrity) but thinks/is allowed to think he’s great. Nothing to do with cognition, everything to do with hubris.
I hate to admit that I’m starting to believe the conspiracy theories that he has dementia because I can’t understand why he’s so bad at his job otherwise.
He knows who he's running against. Maybe you'll survive another trump presidency, but I live in Florida & it's SCARY here. The foreign influence is very upsetting 😭😔
That's what is making me so insane, like other Democrats yelling at ME like I'm the one not listening to their base. It's Biden's election to win but if he'd rather underwrite war crimes and have that be his legacy... that's not my fault. I'm not going to ever be on board with trading my tenuous freedom on the lives of innocent families.
Yep if Biden can save reproductive rights why do we have to wait until 2025? Maybe he should do something to show us he’s worth voting for rather than just just saying hey at least I’m not as bad as that other guy
Because for medically vulnerable people, that other guy wasn’t as bad as Biden. Chump gave us more financial assistance during covid & when he was in office at least the “good guys” weren’t trying to kill off all the medically vulnerable people in this country.
Did you know that disabled people are the largest marginalized group in America and Kate over here thinks we should just shut up and go die for her blue king. I am not doing that. She can cry more
(Edited because talk to text called reproductive rights “rates” & I had to fix it.)
I have a better chance of surviving a Trump presidency than four more years with Biden. At least if he comes back maybe the good guys will stop spreading Covid for the economy? I’m shocked I’ve survived four years of this mass disabling event that genocide Joe wants to pretend is over.
As far as Israel goes he has been extremely pro-Zionist his entire career. And I think as a young adult he got a tremendous dose of the indoctrination that has been so effective even at lesser concentrations. It's too traumatic for him to realize that he's been the baddie and he's not going to let the facts get in the way of his belief that Israel=Good just like America=Good. I do think that this inflexibility is both exacerbated by age but also pretty much standard for the status quo powers that be. Pelosi etc are all being just as inflexible. Hakeem Jeffries has undermined the vocal supporters of Palestine for years. There's probably a certain amount of disbelief that so many people are refusing to stick to the old narrative and there's definitely some anger. They need to separate themselves from their politics and look at the human costs. But they don't want to do that. If they want to stay in office though they are going to have to deal with it.
Again, fuck you. I fucking hate all of you who think there is a reasonable option at this point besides Biden. I hope you all die slow, painful deaths while watching Herr Pumpkinfuhrer speak. DIE, DIE, DIE!!!!!🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

like what is the use of saying “let’s elect this more moderate person and push them left” and then when we do try, we get fingers pointed at us that we’re sabotaging democracy?
The Vote Blue No Matter What crowd will get cranky and solemnly shake their heads at you. One thing rarely mentioned is that a lot of the vbnmw argument is America First, No Matter What. I see that Biden has put in place some good things for workers and students, and his team (Sanders team) does get some of the domestic social justice stuff and, clearly, for Americans, biden would be better than whatsisname. But there is that exceptionalism again, that vomit that is "patriotism" and individualism - Me First. The Nelson Mandela quote cuts through, that none of us are free until Palestine is free.
It would be nice for someone like The Greens to outline exactly how they would start going about cleaning up the US system.
It's draining, because the US system is overtly designed to only work for a small cabal of "rich" planet destroyers and enslavers.
And you comment was way more succinct.
I'll try it:
Indigenous people generally have the answer. It's there we should be listening. And supporting.

Yeah, that will work. DUMBASS! Why don’t you just hand the fucking election to Dipshit Donny? I loath you stupid assholes almost as much as I hate Herr Pumpkinfuhrer. I’m not a fan of the MAGA America first BS, but in this year it may well be important. What the fuck do you single digit IQ morons think will happen if the election goes to DT? The cheetoh is a Bibi fan. And he has made clear how Muslims rate for him. So, to prove solidarity with Palestinians, are you assholes really willing to sacrifice all the American Muslims and POC to another MAGA administration with the help of the Heritage Foundation and Project2025? There is a special place in hell for you. #Biden2024 #FuckUncommittedDemocrats
I’m not a Republican and I do appreciate democracy just not what MAGA has planned. Free speech is critical, but will be at risk if 45 comes back. Voting policy over party or person will only be successful if everyone does that. Maybe you all have been lucky in the years since 2017. My family has not. I mentioned in another post my cousins son. In 2020 my Korean son had a classmate in his Ph.D program beaten to death for bringing the “Kung Flu” to America. There are many of us who are not voting party over policy. We are voting for a decent, yet flawed person with many policies we want to see. We are many that are critical of how the Israeli war has been handled. But we see the other candidate with no policies to help other than he’d basically hand over Ukraine to Putin and who clearly actively supports his Israeli brother from another mother. And the conditions in Gaza, the West Bank and for many Muslim Americans will become untenable. In addition the stripping of LGBTQ rights that is planned will be devastating. MAGA? It’s impossible. From what I can see through history, we’ve never been great. Policy over party is difficult because most of the time people become one issue voters. Total abortion ban? Vote for the GOP. No more support for Israel? Vote for who knows. Want to see that we roll back climate change legislation? GOP. Forgive student loans? Democrats. I am really angry. I’m angry with every idiot that wanders around in a red hat insisting Pizzagate was real and the Superbowl was rigged. And I’m angry with people who think that this is the time to push a third party or to not vote. I’m horrified by Israel. But I’m also fucking terrified that I will lose people I love to crazy people encouraged to be violent. Get help? I’m trying, believe it or not. I spent three weeks in the hospital in November after trying to deal with what has happened in the last years to my country and to people I love. The only actual death threat I made was against myself using several bottles of pills. What absolutely terrifies me and enrages me, is that it feels like everyone refusing to commit to Biden has only one group of people they are concerned about. I want Netanyahu gone and the genocide to stop. But it isn’t the only thing. I want my cousins family to not be threatened or killed. I want my Korean children to not be targeted. My daughter refuses to return back to the US, where she feels there is nothing for a woman or an Asian. I want my transgender niece-in-law to be safe and to be able to be herself. I’m tired of all of this. Tired of crying half the time and tired of wondering when if ever the people I love will be safe again. So, I’m voting based on policy. The MAGA and far-right have policies that I can in no way support. That does not mean I’m 100% for every Biden policy. But I believe that the vast majority will better serve the most.
Again, fuck you. I fucking hate all of you who think there is a reasonable option at this point besides Biden. I hope you all die slow, painful deaths while watching Herr Pumpkinfuhrer speak. DIE, DIE, DIE!!!!!🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
Fuck you Joshua Hill and the uncommitted. If Biden loses because of you asshats, then you can all burn in hell. Let’s fuck everyone over because we are too fucking clueless to understand that this is NOT A NORMAL ELECTION. Anyone who is a registered Democrat and is uncommitted deserves to be fucking committed. FUCK YOU ALL AND THE FUCKING HORSES YOU RODE IN ON. Fuck
Tlaib and all of you who think Palestinians would be best served by not voting for Biden. YOU will be personally responsible for any continued genocide in Gaza or the West Bank if you don’t support democracy over fascist MAGA. 🖕🏻🖕🏻💩🖕🏻💩🖕🏻💩🖕🏻💩🖕🏻💩🖕🏻🤢🤮🖕🏻💩
Biden himself is only doing what his party's leadership wants. His party loves little more than showing its contempt and intransigence toward the people to its left that it thinks it owns the votes from.
It's probably too late to do more than this action; but that shouldn't stop the left from organizing outside the party to form a left party to compete in midterms 2026. It's a delayed solution, but a far more permanent one.
Can we please stop with the ableist and ageist bullshit? Biden is not showing signs of dementia. His age is not a problem. The problem is his politics. We've known this all along. He was elected primarily because he is a centrist, neo-liberal, good old boy of the Dem variety. If we really want things to change, we have to stop demonizing and pathologizing those in high offices. Let's dispense with the ad hominem silliness and instead hold them accountable for what they *do*. It is Biden's Zionism that is the problem here - not his age. Focus on the Zionism, and the actions resulting from it, or we don't have a snowball's chance of convincing his administration (regardless of "who is really in charge?") to change course.
Sure, he could change course, but Americans at large back Israel over the Palestinians by about 2-1, which is electorally massive. At this point Biden simply gets to choose which way to lose the election. I suppose you could argue that if you're going to lose either way you might as well go down not-supporting-genocide.
If the uncommitted people are helping Trump it’s only because Biden refuses to listen. He’s been like this the whole time though, during the last election he spent more time pandering to the people who will never vote for him than he did listening to the people who actually voted for him. And he’s still doing it.

Again, fuck you. I fucking hate all of you who think there is a reasonable option at this point besides Biden. I hope you all die slow, painful deaths while watching Herr Pumpkinfuhrer speak. DIE, DIE, DIE!!!!!🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
Fuck you Joshua Hill and the uncommitted. If Biden loses because of you asshats, then you can all burn in hell. Let’s fuck everyone over because we are too fucking clueless to understand that this is NOT A NORMAL ELECTION. Anyone who is a registered Democrat and is uncommitted deserves to be fucking committed. FUCK YOU ALL AND THE FUCKING HORSES YOU RODE IN ON. Fuck
Tlaib and all of you who think Palestinians would be best served by not voting for Biden. YOU will be personally responsible for any continued genocide in Gaza or the West Bank if you don’t support democracy over fascist MAGA. 🖕🏻🖕🏻💩🖕🏻💩🖕🏻💩🖕🏻💩🖕🏻💩🖕🏻🤢🤮🖕🏻💩
Biden himself is only doing what his party's leadership wants. His party loves little more than showing its contempt and intransigence toward the people to its left that it thinks it owns the votes from.
It's probably too late to do more than this action; but that shouldn't stop the left from organizing outside the party to form a left party to compete in midterms 2026. It's a delayed solution, but a far more permanent one.
Can we please stop with the ableist and ageist bullshit? Biden is not showing signs of dementia. His age is not a problem. The problem is his politics. We've known this all along. He was elected primarily because he is a centrist, neo-liberal, good old boy of the Dem variety. If we really want things to change, we have to stop demonizing and pathologizing those in high offices. Let's dispense with the ad hominem silliness and instead hold them accountable for what they *do*. It is Biden's Zionism that is the problem here - not his age. Focus on the Zionism, and the actions resulting from it, or we don't have a snowball's chance of convincing his administration (regardless of "who is really in charge?") to change course.
Sure, he could change course, but Americans at large back Israel over the Palestinians by about 2-1, which is electorally massive. At this point Biden simply gets to choose which way to lose the election. I suppose you could argue that if you're going to lose either way you might as well go down not-supporting-genocide.
