Gretchen Whitmer responds to calls by some Democrats to vote ā€˜uncommittedā€™ in Michiganā€™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.

ā€œItā€™s important not to lose sight of the fact that any vote thatā€™s not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term,ā€ she said on Sunday during an interview on CNNā€™s State of the Union. ā€œA 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 Bidenā€™s 2024 campaign, also said she wasnā€™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 ā€œuncommittedā€ in Michiganā€™s 27 February primary.

    To this statement,

    The DNC admitted on record in court that they cheated and that it was their right to cheat to get their own choices elected.

    You replied withā€¦

    if the DNC can just brainwash voters youā€™d think theyā€™d win more reliably.

    Your response was clearly a straw man. But maybe you just misunderstood and you were restating what you understood to be their point. But thenā€¦

    Pretending that thereā€™s no way for the Democratic leadership to put their thumb on the scale, other than ā€œbrainwashingā€, when itā€™s been proven that they did just that, is disingenuous at best.

    got the responseā€¦

    So they took Bernie off the ballot then?

    Now we have a pattern. Low effort straw man arguments are done in bad faith, unless you want to plead to just being an imbecile.

    BTW: They werenā€™t my ā€œconspiracy laden conclusionsā€. That is (I assume) a mistaken attribution, and it is also a mischaracterization of what was said. I just came into the conversation to call you out for your bad faith arguments.
