This is the #Michigan #primary data I’m looking at:

The #Biden / #Trump side by side comparison.

So far, with a smaller percentage of Democratic votes counted, Biden is beating Trump, even w/ the #uncommitted #ProtestVote.

Biden has 89,813 votes w/ 12.38% of the vote counted.

Trump has 89,708 votes w/ 12.61% of the vote counted.

Assume conservatively that in the general election Biden gets at least 50% of those uncommitted votes.

We're going to need a lot more #Democrats to #vote in the #GeneralElection than did in the #primary if we want #Biden to beat #trump. Look at the total number of votes.

Even if Biden picks up 100% of the "#uncommitted" & Trump only gets 50% of #Haley's, Trump still wins #Michigan.

"#Uncommitted” defeated #Biden in Dearborn, Dearborn Heights & Hamtramck, where #DemocraticVoters voiced their opposition to Biden’s support of #Israel in its #war against the militant group #Hamas in the #Gaza Strip, where nearly 30k #Palestinians have been killed in the nearly five-month-long conflict.

Uncommitted vote defeated Biden in these Michigan cities

More than 101,000 ballots were cast for "uncommitted" in Michigan's Democratic presidential primary, or about 13% of the vote.

@Nonilex Alternatively 81% of MI primary voters turned out to support Biden in an uncontested primary where they had little incentive for doing so. The only folks with an incentive to turn out were those who wanted to lodge a protest vote, and even with the media relentlessly plugging this option, the uncommitted mvmt only mustered 13%.

@FinchHaven it's nice to hear someone else say it: "the Democrat Party is dead to me"

I'll never cast an affirmative vote for active enablers of war crimes. Dear Old Joe and his handlers can eat shit.

if they were ACTUALLY concerned about "fascism" and "the most important election in history™," they wouldn't be running Joe fucking Biden. it's time to drop the bullshit and get it together.

sadly, knowing how #Democrats operate, there's a ~0% chance they develop self-awareness now. @Nonilex

@Nonilex
Agree 💯! Yesterday's turnout was anemic, less than half the number of votes cast on the Democratic side in the 2020 primary. We need numbers like the 65% that voted in the 2020 November election! Yesterday was a combined 22.5%. (26 tfg, 19 B)

Biden was basically unopposed in a primary. People knew they didn't need to turn out for him to win.
