The people voting for Biden in the primary didn't move the Overton Window, the uncommitted movement did! Democrats went from being explicitly anti-ceasefire to support and Biden was forced out of the race. That is how you use the vote to get things done- organizing and strategy.

I fully agree and I believe that voting Uncommitted was the best leftist option so I think that is a great example of how voting the furthest left we can does actually make a difference.
