Gretchen Whitmer responds to calls by some Democrats to vote āuncommittedā in Michiganās primary on Tuesday
Gretchen Whitmer, the Michigan governor, pushed back on calls to not vote for Joe Biden over his handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict, saying on Sunday that could help Trump get re-elected.
āItās important not to lose sight of the fact that any vote thatās not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term,ā she said on Sunday during an interview on CNNās State of the Union. āA second Trump term would be devastating. Not just on fundamental rights, not just on our democracy here at home, but also when it comes to foreign policy. This was a man who promoted a Muslim ban.ā
Whitmer, who is a co-chair of Bidenās 2024 campaign, also said she wasnāt sure what to expect when it came to the protest vote.
Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat who is the only Palestinian-American serving in Congress, urged Democrats last week to vote āuncommittedā in Michiganās 27 February primary.
I heard a pro Palestine rally in Sacramento and the dude on the bull horn was like āLetās make sure Biden doesnāt get re-elected because he supports Israelā and everyone walking by was like āYeah right, sure and let Trump win?! You know Trump loves Israel too right?ā.
There is a non-zero chance that some āpro-Palestineā rallies are orchestrated by right-wing bad actors that are trying to convince centrists and leftists to not vote because of āgEnOcIdE jOe!ā Even though there really is no nuance to the Israel/Palestine conflict any longer, somehow conservatives made preserving human life a political statement.
Literal Russia troll farms setup facebook groups to get people to do this. They did it throughout the 2016 election. There are plenty of useful idiots in the US that fall right into the trap.
Everyone knows useful idiots donāt support genocide.
They promote whatever view promotes apathy and division.

If Democrats think California is in play, they might as well just pack it up and concede.
