There's something called the Uncommitted National Movement, and they held a sit-in outside the Democratic National Convention demanding that they have a Palestinian American speaker. After all, they hosted the parents of a Hamas hostage. It'd be only fair for the hostage-takers to have their say:

"They need to add someone immediately."

CNN asked Abbas Alawieh if he thought it was discriminatory of the DNC to exclude Palestinian American Democrats.

Sadly, she's not.

"Uncommitted" is still going to vote for Kamala Harris anyway, regardless.
