Morphine Prince 109,926 Posted February 28, 2024 Author Share Posted February 28, 2024 Something to watch: In the Democratic Primary, people who are protesting Biden are voting "Uncommitted" As of this post, 16% of the vote is uncommitted. Let's see how high it goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATCAT 60,931 Posted February 28, 2024 Share Posted February 28, 2024 For anyone wondering about the uncommitted block, Michigan is very familiar with an uncommitted "protest vote" in their uncontested primaries. In 2012, Obama had a similar protest vote during the Michigan primary that amounted to 20k votes, around 10% of the votes that primary. Obama still won Michigan by 10 points during the general election by more than 400k votes. 2012 Michigan Democratic presidential caucuses Barack Obama = 174,054 = 89.31% Uncommitted = 20,833 = 10.69% Total Votes: 194,887 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_United_States_presidential_election_in_Michigan This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are currently at 40K with 32% of the vote in. At this rate we might get to 100K uncommitted votes. A clear warning for Biden over this war.

ARTPOPSYCHOLOGY 6,283 Posted February 28, 2024 Share Posted February 28, 2024 I think it’s downright bizarre there isn’t one democrat candidate out there that could’ve opposed Biden. I know running for president is all about money but they had FOUR years. This is getting scary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The democratic party is, ironically, undemocratic and the candidates are ordained by special elector types. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to get traction enough comes down to donors and financial backing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to get traction enough comes down to donors and financial backing. Part of it is psychology. Even if big donors were looking for opposition to Biden, they are massively afraid of the damage a contested party primary can do to a sitting candidate/their replacement. Drawn out contested primaries massively damage the eventual winning candidate, especially if the opposition party candidate's primary run was essentially a coronation like Trump's is.
