Genocide Joe is facing growing opposition from his party's base over his handling of the Israeli-Gaza war. Democrate citizens of Michigan are starting a campaign to convince their fellow Michiganders to choose "uncommitted" instead of Joe Biden ar their party's primary on Tuesday.



Michigan's Primary: Some will vote "Uncommitted" to protest Biden's Isreal stance

Hamas attack on Israel happened that killed 1,200 people and took some 240 hostage, per the Israeli government. Israel's military response in Gaza has since killed nearly 30,000 people, mostly women and children, according to the ministry of health in Gaza.

It may feel far away for some Americans, but Alawieh's city, Dearborn, has felt every death in Gaza deeply. It's home to one of the largest Arab American communities in the country.

Alawieh started getting calls from cousins, friends and acquaintances in Michigan who'd barely expressed an interest in politics.

"Those same people are reaching out to me right now saying, 'This is Biden's fault, what are we going to do to make sure Biden stops this?'" he said.

"Okay, so you have a community that is alienated, that Biden is alienating beyond what we can even capture in numbers," he said.

So he and other progressive organizers in the Detroit metro area are trying to create those numbers. He's a spokesperson for the Listen to Michigan movement, the self-described "multiracial and multifaith, anti-war campaign" that's encouraging Democrats and Independents to show up to the polls for Tuesday's primary.

But they're not getting out the vote for Biden, who Alawieh himself supported in 2020. They're urging voters to check the "uncommitted" box instead, as a way of protesting the Biden administration's handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

And now, to the chagrin of Israel supporters, it seems as if Joe Biden is finally getting the message the far left is sending him. As his coalition is fracturing, due to the disparate view points they hold and questions about his age, Joe can no longer afford to be seen as supporting genocide in Gaza.



Joe Biden has surrendered to the hard-Left

Was this the week in which the United States started to get tough on Israel? Perhaps. But it is truer to describe it as the week in which Joe Biden squinted under his eyebrows at the looming election and decided to put domestic politics first.

The battle for the White House will be bitter and Donald Trump, the presumed Republican candidate, is winning already. Voting intention data places him ahead of the incumbent. Trump also leads in every battleground state apart from Pennsylvania. Moreover, hard-Left Democrats are already nonplussed about their leader. In short, Biden appears to have concluded that the footage of wounded Palestinian civilians must vanish from TikTok.

In the war’s first phase, with his deployment of aircraft carriers to the eastern Mediterranean and billions of dollars of military aid, he stood boldly in defence of democracy. But then he began to snark about “indiscriminate bombing” and Israel being “over the top”. In private, according to NBC, he took to calling Benjamin Netanyahu an “a--hole”. After that came the finger wagging about Rafah, the final redoubt of Hamas.

Americans instinctively understand what is at stake in Gaza. A study last month revealed that 80 per cent of the population supported Israel’s war against jihadism.

America’s opinion on Israel is irrelevant. What matters are the sentiments of certain constituencies in swing states such as Michigan and the energy of the progressive base of the party. Biden is fighting for his political life; he is allowing that to eclipse the plight of the Israelis who, in the real world, are fighting for theirs. If Biden were stronger, he wouldn’t need to sell Israel down the river. The Arab-American community accounts for a very small proportion of the voting public in Michigan. And if the country were energised behind the President, the progressives could be ignored. But 86 per cent of Americans think he is too old for the job.

Barack Obama once cautioned: “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f--- things up”. From the disastrous Afghan withdrawal to the appeasement of Iran, Biden’s foreign policy has been one of indecision and weakness. The exception to this has been his fortitude on Israel. Now even that seems poised to crack.

Don't you worry about good old G.I. Joe.

G.I. Joe knows how to get it done!

It's just the primary and he's basically running unopposed.
This means nothing.
Now if it were the general election .. that would mean something.

The Terrorist sympathizers in Michigan needs the senile parrot in the white house.

They will vote for him regardless.

I'm actually interested to see the outcome of this. I have a feeling that the number of "uncommitted" votes is going to be drastically lower than the media or social media thinks.

I recently saw that supposedly Trump was at 61% and Jobama was right behind him at 58%.

A three point difference...


yeah... okay...


Wtf ever.


ETA: Another impossibility is the latest Bribem approval rating of 38% LOL.

OH how our Tiktok impaired attention spans have left most forgetting he was hovering in the mid to high 20's not too long ago. What exactly improved to garner such a spike to 38%??
🤷🏻

Primaries are just posing in this case. Let them see Trump's plans for Muslims in America before the final.

I tend to agree; media or social media appear to be inflating the amount of support for Gaza and against Israel.

The number of "uncommitted" votes in Michigan would be a good indicator of media bias on the subject.

Concentration camps?

Wouldn’t be the first time the USA used concentration camps.

To be fair, so did the UK and Australia; the USA just put the inmates in a field surrounded by wire.

Michigan governor says not voting for Biden over Gaza war ‘supports second Trump term’

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.”

It's interesting that in a race that holds no real consequences (Biden is running virtually unopposed in the Democrat primary) the democrat political machine is worried over the embarrassment that a strong "Uncommitted" vote would bring.

As a result the democrat political machine is urging it's members to set aside their convictions over genocide in Gaza and vote for Biden in the primary anyway. What's more important to Democrats than Genocide? Apparently keeping Joe Biden from embarrassing himself.

The funniest part about this is their own brainwashing of their electorate might cost them an election.

There is factually no genocide happening in Gaza. These young people have been brainwashed to support Islamic terrorism because of identity politics.

It'd be hilarious if the Democrats' own doing was their downfall.

Well I'll have to admit I was wrong. The Media wasn't sensationalizing the pledge to vote "Uncommitted" by the coalition that propelled Joe Biden to victory in 2020.



Rashida Tlaib and 'uncommitted' voters are delivering a major rebuke to Biden over Israel — and it could make him lose Michigan to Trump in 2024

President Joe Biden may have handily won the Michigan Democratic primary on Tuesday, but the results came with a significant warning sign for his continued support for Israel.

As of 9:15 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, over 20,000 voters had cast "uncommitted" ballots, accounting for over 15% of the vote, according to Decision Desk HQ.

With results still being counted; the number of “uncommitted” votes has already far surpassed the 10,000-vote goal set by organizers.

Also let us not forget that these voters didn't just sit out because they were not happy with their choices; they took the time to go out to the polls to vote for "No One".

After this vote, and after the wall to wall coverage about how bad this outcome would be for Joe Biden, the President will have to respond by changing his approach to the Israel-Gaza war.

This is going to be another problem for Joe Biden given that a recent Harvard-Harris poll found more than 80% of those surveyed in the U.S. supported Israel more than Hamas in the current conflict.

Genocide Joe has a tight rope to walk on this issue ... and we all know how much difficulty he has with simple stairs.

You'd have to be an idiot to vote for a President who has caused prices of common goods and services to increase by 30% to 40% in just 3 years!

If Netanyahu was a smarter warrior, there'd be no discussion of genocide. President Trump says (essentially) Bibi is a coward for not killing the HAMAS leaders. Going after the easily replaceable fighter-ants causes so much unnecessary death of innocents, without ever getting rid of HAMAS. 😟

30 to 40% for the increase in just 3 years. That should be easy for you to support.

This article does a good job talking about the reality of increases:

However, Trump exaggerated the scale of the food price increase. The lowest figure Trump offered, 40%, is about twice as high as the actual rate of increase under Biden.


www.wral.com...

This article from the GAO doesnt back that 30% to 40% claim


Last year, U.S. consumers saw the largest annual increase in food prices since the 1980s. While food prices generally increased about 2% in prior years, they increased about 11% from 2021 to 2022. Inflation contributed to the increase. But there were other factors—like global disruptions to the food supply chain—that may have had a greater impact. And not everyone felt this increase the same way.

" Donald Trump Wins Michigan Republican Primary "

" Former President Donald Trump has won Michigan’s Republican primary as he continues his charge toward the GOP presidential nomination.

The Associated Press (AP) called the race for Trump at around 9:00 p.m. ET after the last polls closed across the state, signaling that he handily defeated his lone remaining opponent, former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC). As of 9:11 p.m. ET, the New York Times’s election results showed Trump with 65.6 percent of the vote to Haley’s 30.2 percent with an estimated nine percent of the vote tabulated. The primary has 16 delegates bound to it, while Michigan’s GOP state convention on Saturday will see its remaining 39 delegates awarded."


Lil Nikki Still will not Concede . FAKE Republican Indeed....

Voters in Michigan don't like the Inflation that is occurring under Joe Biden, or the Biden Administration taking them for FOOLS by saying, "We've reduced inflation. You should be happy!". Like I said, Biden voters have reasons other than the economy, for giving him their vote.

Meanwhile, on the losing team, internal warfare escalates...

A WARNING to BIDEN from Michigan Democrats today, led by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib.

""The “uncommitted” campaign said it hoped to get 10,000 votes in the Michigan primary. Early returns indicated there might ultimately be more than 150,000 “uncommitted” votes."" 💣 😳

Biden stil wins with 80% of the vote. And just like every primary so far, Trump is 20 points behind what the polls said he was going to get.
