Major Shot Across Biden's Bow: 100,000+ Michigan Dems Vote "Uncommitted"​



Wednesday, Feb 28, 2024 - 09:05 AM
An initiative organized by dissident Democrats outraged over President Biden's handling of the Israel-Gaza war has sent a powerful shot across the bow of his presidential campaign, as more than 100,000 Democrats voted "uncommitted" in the Michigan primary.
That's more than 9 times former President Trump's 10,704-vote victory margin in his 2016 defeat of Hillary Clinton, in a critical swing state that will be worth 15 electoral votes in the November general election. Critically, that 100,000-voter coalition turned out for a primary election where the conclusion was foregone. There are likely many more who share their sentiments but didn't bother voting.
With more than 95% of votes counted, "uncommitted" accounted for a hefty 13.3% of the statewide total. Biden had 81.1%, while Marianne Williamson, who suspended her campaign three weeks ago, was edging the still-campaigning Rep. Dean Phillips 3.0% to 2.7%. Wayne County, home of Dearborn and its large Muslim population, saw 21% vote uncommitted with 75% of the count completed.
Michigan has one of the largest Muslim populations in America. Angered by Biden's lop-sided support for Israel and failure to restrain an Israel Defense Forces campaign that has caused tens of thousands of civilian casualties -- including a high proportion of children -- leaders have promoted a nationwide campaign to "Abandon Biden." An allied effort, under the moniker of "Listen to Michigan," was championed by Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib.



Some Michigan Muslims are sufficiently angry that they've threatened to vote Republican in November. They realize the GOP is subservient to the State of Israel, but they credit Republicans for at least being honest about it. Where Biden is concerned, they feel betrayed and lied to, and want to punish him and like-minded Democrats.
In the run-up to the primary, Biden and his team gingerly yet clumsily attempted to mend relations with Michigan's Muslims. Biden himself didn't dare meet with them personally. Instead, Team Biden sent Jewish national security advisor Jon Finer for a closed-door meeting in which he told Arab-American political leaders, “We are very well aware that we have [made] missteps in the course of responding to this crisis since Oct. 7." It clearly didn't work.
Don't think the uncommitted votes were only cast by Muslims. Progressive leftists and young voters factored in too. In Washtenaw County, home of the University of Michigan, 17% voted uncommitted.



The "uncommitted" movement didn't just earn publicity and shake the Biden campaign. It's also expected to result in Michigan actually sending one uncommitted delegate to the Democratic nominating convention. "Under Michigan’s Democratic primary rules, candidates can receive delegates by earning at least 15 percent of the vote in a specific congressional district," reports the New York Times' Zach Johnk. That seems a certainty for Tlaib's Michigan-12 district.
This could be the start of a rolling nightmare for the Biden-Harris campaign. While leftist media and party officials will spin the Michigan result in favor of Biden, it's made a national splash and could ignite a trend that spreads to upcoming states, with Democrats seizing upon the tactic to voice not only disappointment with Biden's approach to Israel and Gaza, but also to express their long-simmering general dissatisfaction with Biden. A Rasmussen poll released Monday found that 48% of Democrats backed the idea of the Democratic Party "finding another candidate to replace Joe Biden before the election in November."



If Biden remains the candidate, the biggest general-election threat in Michigan isn't that Muslims and college students will vote Red in November, but that they'll simply stay home, or cast protest votes for candidates like the Green Party's Jill Stein. Don't expect them to vote for independent Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, who decisively repelled a once-promising block of Kennedy-curious progressives and libertarians with his over-the-top, pro-Israel rhetoric.

you forgot to mention that Trump only got 68.1% of the Republican vote in Michigan. Nikki Haley got 26.6%. and "uncommitted" got 3%.

while Biden got 81.1% of the total Democratic vote with 13.2% voting uncommitted.

the interesting part about Haley's campaign is that she's averaging 35% of the Republican vote and has said that she will not drop out of the race.

Super Tuesday is coming up and she intends to demonstrate that a large percentage of the republican party does not want Trump as their candidate.

this will have a profound effect at the polls in the general election. some of her supporters will vote for Trump anyway if he gets the nomination but some will just not vote at all if they have to vote for Trump.

I've talked to a lot of Republican voters who have said that they won't vote at all if Trump is the candidate. They won't vote for a Democrat and won't vote for Trump.

the longer she stays in the race the worse it will be for Trump on the ballot.

also, she is staying in the race because she knows that there is a high probability that Trump will be disqualified somehow.

Trichy be twisted! you know how he is always posting stuff from zerohedge.com?

well, this is from wiki;

Over time, Zero Hedge expanded into non-financial political content,[c] including conspiracy theories and fringe rhetoric[3][28] advancing radical right,[15][29] alt-right,[30][31][32] and pro-Russia positions.[1][33][34][35] Zero Hedge's non-financial commentary has led to multiple site bans by global social media platforms,

and;

Daniel Ivandjiiski is the founder of Zerohedge.

his father is;

Krassimir Ivanov Ivandjiiski (Bulgarian: Красимир Иванов Иванджийски, born 15 June 1947) is a former Soviet-era Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Trade official who, since 1994, has been the publisher and editor-in-chief of the Bulgarian political news website, Strogo Sekretno (Bulgarian: Строго секретно; English "Top Secret"). Krassimir is also the father of Daniel Ivandjiiski, founder of the U.S.-based alt-right website, Zero Hedge.[1][2]

the father has written pro-Putin and pro-Russian propaganda and Zerohedge is probably a Russian propaganda outlet.

conspiracy fetishists are so pathetic! imagine spending your life mentally chasing conspiracy theories that are never proven and mostly well-refuted in the end.

how's the Biden impeachment probe going, Trichy? where's all that "hard evidence" you were talking about?

It has occurred to me that Gypsy might not want to be hosting a site that publishes child pornography.

Even though I am fairly certain that it's not, perhaps the people who think it is should be aware that they are committing a terrible felony and are considered by many to be the lowest form of life on Earth.

Are we ready to address any of this?
