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.
Whoās saying that? How are single party states a left wing thing? For every communist totalitarian there have been many right wing totalitarians, not to mention royalty. Right wing media is lying to you. Question this shit.
This entire sub is saying not to vote for Trump because ādemocracy will end!ā Which we all know is bullshit. Democracy will go on. Itās a scare tactic from the Left. Everyone around here is basically saying that we should only support a Democrat President. Thatās supporting one party, one person. Americans are very diverse, we need different candidates with different perspectives.
Itās not about Democratic vs Republican, itās specifically about Trump. In order for you to think that democracy would be safe with a Trump presidency, you would have to ignore Trump himself. Of course Trump.p is a moron who doesnāt understand a word he says. If he canāt be taken seriously then he shouldnāt be president, and if you can then he definitely shouldnāt be president.
