I think it’s a mistake to count all 100,000 uncommitted votes as results of that protest. (But it was clever for Tlaib to pick something that surprisingly many people would have done anyway - it was impossible for her to lose in the court of public opinion even if literally no one actually supported her.) The 1/5 or so of the uncommitted votes that were (by my estimate) protesting are important but they’re not essential. Their votes have to be balanced against appealing to other voters elsewhere and against what Biden considers to be prudent policy.
