The biggest labor union in Washington state endorsed voting “uncommitted” in the state’s Democratic presidential primary next month, citing concerns about President Joe Biden’s political strength and his support for Israel’s war in Gaza.
The Washington chapter of the United Food and Commercial Workers has over 50,000 members, making it the largest chapter of that union in the nation. The deeply Democratic West Coast state holds its primary on March 12.
The Washington union praised those who voted “uncommitted” in Michigan and said “Biden must push for a lasting ceasefire and ending US funding toward this reckless war.”
Here are the top political news stories for today.
Hey Biden supporters, yall should be worried

The trend-lines which pointed toward a Biden electoral advantage in 2020 now point toward a Trump electoral advantage in 2024
There's been a marked decline in 2024 Democratic primary voter turnout in both Michigan and South Carolina, while Republican primary turnout is either trending upward or steady. This contrasts with 2020, which pointed to increases in Dem turnout dwarfing increases in GOP turnout
But seems crazy to me that the children of those that knew the worst oppression and human rights violations during slavery, are now complicit in the same crimes against the Palestinians.

Well, when Trump wins and we no longer have free and fair elections and he deports every Muslim, whether American citizen or not, I hope those protest votes give you all some comfort.

I am figuring out ways we can unlink our party to this union. We should just refuse their endorsement & not allow them to work on our campaign efforts. Also, we can pull working on their behalf, or make it less of a priority in labor matters... I rebuked my union & we threatened to stop paying their dues, they removed the ceasefire endorsement & then updated to demand the release of hostages and end to the violence.. we can figure out how to show them where the power is... not with them.

I can forgive genocide, but I draw the line at not voting Democrat.”

Biden could always stop funding Israel and supplying them with the weapons they’re using to commit genocide. That would be a great start
@LeftLeaningPolentaGreen2yrs2Y
Not advocating this country's historical actions, but if any other country's leaders had addressed the U.S. the way Israel's leaders have it'd be a forced regime change for that nation.

@9KF4FXZ2yrs2Y
There is no situation where genocide should be the answer. Even more so there should not be any backlash against anyone who is against genocide.
@9KF4QMK 2yrs2Y
I am a trump supporter all the way and I do not care about Biden personally he needs to get removed from being president,
While these people are wrong about Israel, I am glad to see the Democrat Party being torn apart.
