I know running for president is all about money but they had FOUR years. This is getting scary. No it’s not bizarre at all. Biden is an incumbent president and that’s who is expected to run for reelection. In 2028 there will be a whole new pool of democratic candidates. What’s bizarre is that Trump is running and the RNC is treating him like an incumbent even though he lost, because their entire party has become a cult centered around him.

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 …and now the uncommitted votes have surpassed 100,000.

StarstruckIllusion 53,670 Posted February 28, 2024 Share Posted February 28, 2024 100,000 uncommitted voters in a primary in a swing state seems kind of bad The 2016 might jump out and for no good reason 😭 Thanks Israel 💗 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know running for president is all about money but they had FOUR years. This is getting scary. There are several... at least two of them were on the ballot. They drew very few votes, because they didn't earn them. Even the "vote uncommitted" movement made a point of not endorsing any of the other candidates, because they want to send a message, not actually un-elect Biden. 7 minutes ago, pachinko said: Guess we need to accept Trump will be president. By what logic? 3 minutes ago, StarstruckIllusion said: and 81% for Biden vs. 89% for Obama… Context and only 67% for Trump (with most of the rest of the Republican votes going to an actual candidate rather than "uncommitted").

littlepotter 76,624 Posted February 28, 2024 Share Posted February 28, 2024 I wouldn't wanna have to make such a decision as an American to be honest. I would never want to vote for genocide joe but it's pretty obvious that trump will be genocide trump with the added bonus of huge regression in gay and trans rights and human rights overall. chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not arguing there isn’t a significant protest vote, I’m providing perspective. Biden is unpopular, way more so than Obama. No doubt. Trump is right there too. But for people to try to reject the reality that they have binary choice (unfortunately), where not voting is a vote for the other guy is delulu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cold truth is no US president (or at least the pool of candidates we currently have across the spectrum who actually have a chance) will change US foreign policy when it pertains to Israel. So that leaves us with deciding over domestic issues. Biden is the clear choice for anyone with any sanity and it’s not even close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
