2024-03-05 Hey Biden, Listen to Michigan! The 13.3% of Michigan Democrats who voted uncommitted sent a strong message to the president: “Listen to us and give us a reason to vote for you, or you’re putting your re-election at risk.”
The message sent last Tuesday by more than 100,000 Michigan Democrats who cast their ballots for “uncommitted” was crystal clear. They were telling President Joe Biden to call for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza and make dramatic changes in policy because they were having a problem voting for him or encouraging others to do so.
Make no mistake, this was a big deal. In the first place, it’s always hard to mobilize people to vote “uncommitted” as a protest. It’s much easier to win votes for an alternative candidate like Jesse Jackson or Bernie Sanders because supporters want to help them win. Getting voters to turn out for “uncommitted” is more difficult because the inclination of those in this camp is to not vote at all. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/biden-listen-to-michigan
