Michigan Democrats express skepticism about how their primary will play out Tuesday amid anti-Biden push over Israel-Hamas war
Progressives such as Rep. Rashida Tlaib have urged Michigan Democrats to cast their votes for "uncommitted" in the state's primary over Biden's approach to the Israel-Hamas war.

I'm all for "vote for Biden period." IN THE GENERAL. Because while I think Biden getting the nomination is inevitable based on what the other Dem candidates are alone (Williamson, a kook, and Philips, who has nothing someone who doesn't want Biden to be the nominee wants other than youth) the primary does not have the stakes of the general.
Proudly voting kook in the primary
Yeah the primaries are exactly when you should use this strategy to pull the party left. Anyone not voting for Democrats in the general is supporting the GOP, straight up. They might not want to admit that to themselves or others, but that's precisely what is happening. That's just how first past the post voting works. Only way we get around that is by getting rid of conservatives, in the primaries and general, and gaining enough power to change the system to be more fair. None of that happens if the GOP wins elections.
