In the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary, a grassroots campaign is gaining momentum, urging voters to write in 'cease-fire' as a protest against President Joe Biden's support of Israel in the Gaza conflict. This movement could potentially see 'cease-fire' outperform Biden, who is not on the ballot due to an internal party feud. The Democratic Majority for Israel PAC has contested the validity of counting these write-in votes, citing inconsistencies with New Hampshire election law.
In NH, there's a campaign to write-in "ceasefire" on the ballot. In most cases, write-in campaigns are a long shot, but Biden is a lot less popular than the abstract concept of nonviolence. Wouldn’t it be remarkable if “ceasefire” beat the sitting President of the United States? https://t.co/sZEyLx51Nb
Israel / Gaza is THE voting issue for millions of Americans. Biden has lost these votes — will be interesting to see how many Trump picks up. https://t.co/h3x8k1jA6x
people who "cannot bring myself to vote for Biden after he supported israel in the israel-gaza war": will you be able to vote for him if he corrects now? b/c if yes, it means that you dont really care about his views re palestinians, you just want a president you can pressure.
Some activists are vowing to scribble "cease-fire" in Tuesday's New Hampshire primary as a protest vote against President Joe Biden's approach to the Israel-Hamas war. Biden's name is not on the ballot at all, due to an internal party feud / @Bsamuels0 https://t.co/sdhTweHkUS
One grassroots initiative winning support is the idea to pen "cease-fire" as a write-in candidate for the New Hampshire Democratic primary, with the aim of formally showcasing voters' displeasure over Biden's approach to the Israel-Hamas war / @Bsamuels0 https://t.co/sdhTweHkUS
New Hampshire's primary marks the first official opportunity for Democrats to voice their displeasure for Biden's policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Many voters (potentially hundreds, if not more) are vowing to fill in "ceasefire" on their ballots https://t.co/gkQ8lZYhxO
Many Dem voters are writing in “ceasefire” in NH and ceasefire could actually beat Biden in the primary but a lot of pressure to stop those votes from being tallied
Peace activists are urging #US voters considering candidates for November’s presidential election to instead write “#ceasefire” on their ballots in protest over Joe Biden’s handling of the #Israel-Hamas war. https://t.co/wShpjRIM2G
Democratic Majority for Israel PAC sent letter to New Hampshire SecState ⬇️ saying that tallying “ceasefire” write-in votes is inconsistent with provisions of NH election law. DMFI says it’d undermine process for those writing in names of real candidates. https://t.co/GkP25dTrHL https://t.co/juAl7yGj8t
People who say they oppose Israel's actions in Gaza but don't forcefully oppose Biden's facilitation of Israel's actions in Gaza do not actually oppose Israel's actions in Gaza. https://t.co/qbAL0KRQnQ
President Joe Biden’s steadfast support of Israel in the war against Hamas in Gaza may face an electoral test on Tuesday: a grassroots campaign to write in the word “cease-fire” on the ballot in the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary. https://t.co/z0iBpX8sEr
This is foolishness. Biden does not support genocide, and if Trump were president, he would certainly—from his public statements—be MORE supportive of Israel. Disagreeing with that support is fine, but it's delusional to think Trump would be a better choice because of Gaza. https://t.co/0HPmTFQHBJ
Not sure why we can't just criticize/oppose Biden on Gaza, without the need to minimize/erase Trump's many sins, from exacerbating Covid deaths (almost 500,000 dead Americans in 2020) to arming Saudi's war in Yemen (31,000 Yemeni deaths in 2018 alone, the war's deadliest year). https://t.co/mBnQg6vL48
