Back during the primaries, Kamala Harris didn't win a single vote, but a lot of people upset with "Genocide Joe Biden" wrote in "Uncommitted," hoping to send a message that he'd better change policy on the war in Gaza or risk voters staying home.
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."
Quick! We need to find a Palestinian speaker who is committed to voting for Harris, is capable of condemning Hamas, has no prior history of incitement, and supports Israel’s right to exist.

No? Nothing? Then maybe the problem isn’t the DNC.
CNN asked Abbas Alawieh if he thought it was discriminatory of the DNC to exclude Palestinian American Democrats.

Discriminatory? It was downright racist, says Rep. Rashida Tlaib.
You mean racist. https://t.co/P3MY6YxQSI

I agree. How can you support this? You should resign immediately.

You’re the most disgusting racist in Congress.

Sadly, she's not.
Palestinine is a race now?

Get a new schtick.

Palestinian isn't a race, and there were Arab speakers there. Sorry you couldn't get your pro Hamas propaganda out on the national stage

No @RashidaTlaib disagreeing with someone on an issue is not always racist.

Who are you voting for in the presidential election?

Whowuldathunk being uncommitted to supporting the nominee at her convention would lead to not speaking at her convention?

What race?
— @aDifferentPointofJew (@DrZionist) August 24, 2024
'palestinian' is not a race and the DNC is not obligated to host screeching, violent, hysterical, lunatic activists holding up signs accusing their candidate of participating in genocide. https://t.co/SnjiO0ahpf

Denounce Hamas.

It wasn’t a debate stage. Every single person on stage at ANY convention is a committed voter to the candidate. No reason to bring on someone who it not.

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