Rashida Tlaib encourages voters to cast ‘uncommitted’ vote in Michigan primary to protest Joe Biden backing Israel

Rep. Rashida Tlaib is behind the pro-Palestinian effort to get Michigan Democrats to vote “indeterminate” in the primaries instead of casting their first vote for President Joe Biden.

Listen to Michigan is a group spearheading efforts to create a voting protest against Biden’s support for Israel in its conflict with Hamas terrorists operating out of the Palestinian enclave of Gaza.

‘Don’t make us even more invisible. Right now we feel completely neglected and simply unseen by our government,” Tliab (D-Mich.) said in a video posted Saturday, speaking as a voice for the Palestinian American community.

“If you want us to be louder, come here and vote with no strings attached,” the progressive team member said as he informed Michigan voters of a “way you can raise our voices.”

Tlaib is the first and only Palestinian-American in Congress and is one of the most prominent voices against Israel and President Biden for their support of the Jewish state.

‘It is important, as you all know, not only to march against the genocide… It is also important to create a voting bloc. It’s a bull’s horn thing to say: enough is enough,” Tlaib said in a video posted Saturday.

She officially endorsed the Listen to Michigan campaign on Saturday to “volunteer” to defeat Biden on the state’s ballot later this month.

Michigan will hold its primaries on Tuesday, February 27, where both Democrats and Republicans will cast their votes for their favorite presidential candidates.

While Biden faces virtually no real competition in the Democratic primaries, Michigan is one state where progressives are mobilizing to essentially cast a vote of no confidence in the president by voting for “uncommitted” instead of the sitting president.

This would have little impact on future primaries and Biden’s chances of earning the nomination — but would serve as a massive symbolic vote against the president’s handling of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

“I just wanted to remind everyone that you can vote early today through February 17,” Tlaib said in a video Saturday outside the Ford Civic Center in Dearport, Michigan.

“It is important, as you all know, not only to march against the genocide, not only to make sure that we call out members of Congress and local elected officials and pass city resolutions across the country. It is also important to create a voting bloc. Something that is a bull’s horn to say enough is enough,” she continued.

“We don’t want a country that supports wars, bombs and destruction,” Tlaib insisted. ‘We want to support life. We want to stand up for every life killed.”

Tlaib and other progressives disagree with Biden’s support for Israel in war with Hamas terrorists operating from the Palestinian enclave of Gaza

Hamas terrorists launched a deadly attack in Israel in October, sparking months of brutal war between the de facto Palestinian government and the Jewish state.

Biden has joined the majority of votes in America and Congress in supporting Israel and its right to defend itself against the terrorist group Hamas.

But opponents of this position, including Tlaib and other progressive lawmakers, argue that Israel is responding to the attack by in turn committing a genocide against the Palestinians.
