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.
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.
