and because the evilgelical christian nationalists who worship the ground trump walks on supports israel (but they support israel because it's necessary for the rapture and the return of their god in their death cult, but trump doesn't know or care about that).

thankfully michigan voters did not snub joe biden.
he won 80% of the votes cast. in an uncontested primary biden got more than 610k votes. he beat uncommitted 6 to 1.
despite what people are trying to put out there, the results clearly say biden is on strong footing.
uncommitted barely got more of a percentage of the vote than they normally do. is it "political suicide" because they got more than 100k votes? for every vote uncommitted got, biden got 6. if 100,000 people voted in the primary and we had the same vote distribution, uncommitted would have 13,000 votes.
that's not political suicide. political suicide would be if uncommitted got enough of a threshold to win delegates from the statewide pool. as it ended up last night, they only pulled 2 delegates out of 117 on offer, those 2 coming from one congressional district.
people who are pushing that story are trying to sew democratic chaos and discontent when the democratic party is very much in array.
either that or putting his thumb on scale to get another trump presidency so that he can retire with trump in office.
you only need 4 to hear the case, and I'm pretty sure I know who the 4 are.
they're taking the case, not to reverse the decision but to stall the cases, hopefully past the election where trump would win and moot out these cases.
and in that situation, watch them rule 9-0 after trump is sworn in that the immunity trump says he has doesn't exist.
you continue to assume that all of those uncommitted voters will be not biden voters in november and you assume that all of the haley voters will vote for trump. you are also assuming that everyone who voted in the primary are the total number of people who will be voting in november.
I'm not the one who doesn't understand how voting works here.
fuck him. he should resign from the senate completely.

is it really?
if that's what you need to do to console yourselves after getting shellacked last night, go ahead.
that's 2 delegates out of 117 on offer.
people who are concerned about how biden is handling gaza were always going to be heard because that's how biden rolls. nothing has changed in this regard. and if those are the only 2 delegates who can uncommitted out of almost 2000 who officially vote for the candidate and set the convention schedule it's virtually nothing.
ignoring what results?
biden beat uncommitted 6 to 1.
uncommitted finished slightly higher than what uncommitted normally runs.
what you have in this thread are people trying to convince themselves that barely getting more of a percentage of the vote that uncommitted normally gets is a huge statement because a lot of people voted for their issue, while totally ignoring the number of people who voted overall and the other reasons why people would vote uncommitted.
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.
no, but it would stop biden from doing official acts as president such as calling up seal team 6 and having them terminate with extreme prejudice certain key individuals to ensure he stays in office.
