Gretchen Whitmer responds to calls by some Democrats to vote ‘uncommitted’ in Michigan’s 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.

“It’s important not to lose sight of the fact that any vote that’s not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term,” she said on Sunday during an interview on CNN’s State of the Union. “A 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.”

Whitmer, who is a co-chair of Biden’s 2024 campaign, also said she wasn’t 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 “uncommitted” in Michigan’s 27 February primary.

    They’re doing a great job.

    The most effective way to depopulate an area is what the Nazis finally ended up doing, and has been done by every genocidal group since.

    You starve the population.

    It takes a month or two for food stores to run out, then it takes about a month for the starvation to start killing people. During those first two months the numbers don’t go up a large amount. Afterwards they go up FAST.

    It also kills off the children first, so even if not fully successful, you’ve made the population older, and weaker, and less able to resist or fight back the next time.

    This is what Israel is doing.

    A 3 month old Palestinian boy died yesterday from starvation. He wasn’t even alive in Oct.

    I hope you never have to eat grass to try to stave off the insanity inducing hunger you seem okay with Israel inducing.

        You think Israel are trying to kill as many palestinians as possible? They’re not doing a great job in that case.

        You certainly seem like you’re trying to whitewash the forced starvation because the numbers didn’t increase that much during the initial 2 month period it takes for starvation to start once the Israelis started the starvation campaign.
