'Uncommitted' wins 2 Democratic delegates in Michigan, a victory for Biden's anti-war opponents

While Biden won the state with more than 618,000 votes, more than 100,000 Michigan Democratic primary voters cast ballots for "uncommitted" in the race, enough to pick up the pair of delegates.

    Trump gained 110k votes over his 2020 performance.

    Biden lost over 200k.

    Y’all, strap in.

        This smells like ‘Whose on first’. But also nobody is electable if you don’t vote for them.

    What’s great is that one of the two delegates come from Ann Arbor - a college town home to Michigan State University with very little amount of Arab population. Ann Arbor is predominantly young and white and affluent (due to faculties living there as well).

    Can Biden afford to lose Dearborn, Michigan in general election? Sure, maybe he can tank the hit. Can Biden afford to lose 15% of his base (college kids + faculties) in State College, Pennsylvania (home of Penn State University), Chapel Hill, North Carolina (home of UNC), Atlanta and Athens, Georgia, and other college towns across swing states? Hell no. Get fucked. Young college kids are also more likely to just don’t vote, rather than being coerced into lesser of two evils.

      We’ve got the University of Michigan here in Ann Arbor, Michigan State University is in Lansing. Very distinct and unique names /s

      But yeah, checks out. Very much an affluent “middle class” city. The genocide in Gaza has stirred militancy in the student population here and in the surrounding area, Biden is not popular.

    Next stage involves going to rallies with a big sign that says “UNCOMMITTED 2024”

    Some dem operative is going to change their name legally to uncommitted so they can drop out and hand Biden the election.

    Can’t wait until Biden loses Michigan to Trump and it costs him the electoral college!
