Wisconsin Democrats Ask Voters For Protest Vote Against Biden In Primary To ‘Stand With The Palestinian People’

Wisconsin Democrats are banning together against Biden and insisting voters do not place their votes for the President in the state’s presidential primary next Tuesday. Instead of voting for President Joe Biden, voters are urged to choose “uninstructed delegation” on the ballot in order to make a pro-Palestinian statement regarding the war between Hamas and Israel.

“The Wisconsin Uninstructed campaign calls for an end to the ongoing genocide of over 32,000 Palestinians in Gaza, aided and abetted by the Biden administration with both political support and billions towards weapons and military aid” the letter continued.

Additional Democrats who signed along with Hong were state Senators Ryan Clancy, D-Milwaukee, Chris Larson, D-Milwaukee, and state Representatives Darrin Madison, D-Milwaukee and Kristina Shelton, D-Green Bay. Some Dane County supervisors and school board members from Milwaukee and ElmBrook also signed, reports The Center Square.

“It is our duty to lead with conviction and care for the dignity of all peoples. Therefore, we pledge to fill the bubble for ‘uninstructed delegation’ on our ballots in the upcoming presidential primary election,” the group’s letter states. “‘Uninstructed’ shows our unwavering commitment to human rights, to dignity for all, and to true democracy – a democracy by the people, for the people.”

The Center Square reports that Biden’s Saturday signature to complete a $1.66 trillion budget with the second of two packages of legislation includes $300 million in defense spending to aid Ukraine. The 1,012-page bill did not include a larger aid package for Ukraine and Israel with a cost of $95.3 billion already approved by the Senate but that House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., says may be months before getting to the president.
