A movement is growing to vote in Democratic primaries for “none of the above” or “uncommitted” as a strategy to put Joe Biden on notice that voters may abandon him next fall if he persists with his unconditional support for Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. This strategy, if carried into the presidential election in November, risks real world consequences, namely the election of Donald Trump, that would destroy what remains of democracy in the US. Fred Glass reads excerpts from his article: “Words and History: the Trouble with Genocide Joe,” published online April 14 in the Stansbury Forum. Fred Glass was the communications director for the California Federation of Teachers for nearly thirty years before retiring in 2017. He wrote and directed Golden Lands, Working Hands, a ten-part video series on the history of the California labor movement. His book, From Mission to Microchip: A History of the California Labor Movement, was published by the University of California Press in 2016. Fred is a member of AFT Local 2121 (retiree chapter) and serves on the State Committee of California DSA.
