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.
you said it wasnāt on the ballot. now you seem to understand it is on the ballot and are looking for an excuse not to vote against war.
There wonāt be a question on the ballot asking if Iām for or against the war. So you clearly understand I wasnāt speaking literally and just chose to be pedantic. The Green Party will not win the Presidential election. Voting for them will get you close to the opposite of what you want. Literally.
>Voting for them will get you close to the opposite of what you want.
it will increase the number of votes for the candidate i want to win, so it will definitely get me closer to what i want. unlike voting for someone who i donāt want to win.
Thatās like saying moving your pawns closer to your opponentās king is the right move because it gets closer to your goal. No strategy, No victory.
>There wonāt be a question on the ballot asking if Iām for or against the war
someone is being pedantic, but itās not me.
Oh youāre a child, sorry.
