Double post.
Michigan had its primary the other day. Naturally Biden and Trump both won, but there was an interesting facet to the Dem primary. Biden won with like 81% of the vote, but the next highest amount wasn’t any other candidate but “Uncommitted” at 13% for around 100,000 votes.
Biden won Michigan with a narrow 150,000 votes. That’s very worrisome, and even though I support them telling Biden they disapprove of his actions it does not bode well if they carry that (still justifiable) sentiment all the way to the general.
Especially considering both the demographic of those votes and the Biden administration’s response to it. Supposedly the majority of those votes came from Arab-Americans, and Michigan hosts an Arab population of 500,000. Biden cannot win the state without their votes, unfortunately Biden’s spokesperson saw the Michigan primary and dismissed the grievance altogether. This will not pacify the discontent towards Biden, whether from the Arab population in Michigan or abroad, or even those sympathetic towards them. And yes the discontent is largely centralized towards Biden’s handling of Palestinian genocide.
So yeah that’s cool. Biden is so pro-genocide that he’s willing to lose his re-election over it.
