Rashida Tlaib and 'uncommitted' voters just delivered a major rebuke to Biden over Israel — and it could make him lose Michigan to Trump in 2024
Tlaib urged MI Democrats to choose 'uncommitted' over Biden in the primary over support for Israel. It's a major warning for his chances in November.
You're viewing part of a thread.
for every 1 vote uncommitted got, biden got 6.
michigan opened up more opportunities to go vote so more people voted. that was a historic vote the same way trump got the second most votes in a presidential election and still lost by 7 million. uncommitted ended up getting a few more points than they normally get. that's not historic.
The GOP had a total of 1.1 million votes last night. The Democrats had 767k total votes, 102k which were uncommitted. Don't be obtuse. This would have cost Biden the election if it was the general.
the democratic primary was uncontested. the republican primary technically speaking is still being contested. there is no reasonable incentive for a democratic primary voter to turn out. the fact that over 800k votes were cast in a one man race says a whole lot about democratic energy.
being obtuse is trying to say that being outvoted 6:1 on a issue that is undefined is a historic event. biden's handling of gaza is one reason to vote uncommitted. but so is being concerned about biden's age. but so is joe biden not being bernie sanders.
and by the way, you have no idea how many people who voted for haley or republican uncommitted (or democratic uncommitted for that matter) will end up voting for biden in november. to assume that every republican primary voter is going to be a guaranteed trump vote and every uncommitted democratic primary voter is a guaranteed not biden voter is stupid.
but here's what we did find out last night. the majority of democratic primary voters last night don't have an issue with the way biden is handling things. compared with other primaries this protest movement vote made no impact. now if you need to tell yourselves 100k voters means something to ease the disappointment, go right ahead. just know the actual results don't back you up.
Don't fool yourself. You know as well as I do that a large majority of Haley voters will fall in line and vote for the Republican in the general.
sure they will. but a lot won't. you still don't know how many. and you are absolutely fooling yourself if you believe that all of those uncommitted people are going to be not biden voters.
That wasn't the point of voting uncommitted. Many said they will vote for Biden in the general.
