Trump gained 110k votes over his 2020 performance.
Biden lost over 200k.
Y'all, strap in.
Electoralism is stupid but this is hilarious and I love it
i suggested a presidential write in campaign for 'nobody' partially as a joke
...maybe we could actually put nobody in office 
Nobody is electable if you vote for them
This smells like 'Whose on first'. But also nobody is electable if you don't vote for them.
Pretty sure Abbie Hoffman or The Hog Farm did it in the 60's
The most important election of our lives
never free, never me
so I dub thee uncommitted
My president
What's great is that one of the two delegates come from Ann Arbor - a college town home to Michigan State University with very little amount of Arab population. Ann Arbor is predominantly young and white and affluent (due to faculties living there as well).
Can Biden afford to lose Dearborn, Michigan in general election? Sure, maybe he can tank the hit. Can Biden afford to lose 15% of his base (college kids + faculties) in State College, Pennsylvania (home of Penn State University), Chapel Hill, North Carolina (home of UNC), Atlanta and Athens, Georgia, and other college towns across swing states? Hell no. Get fucked. Young college kids are also more likely to just don't vote, rather than being coerced into lesser of two evils.
We've got the University of Michigan here in Ann Arbor, Michigan State University is in Lansing. Very distinct and unique names /s
But yeah, checks out. Very much an affluent "middle class" city. The genocide in Gaza has stirred militancy in the student population here and in the surrounding area, Biden is not popular.
*East Lansing
Can't wait until Biden loses Michigan to Trump and it costs him the electoral college!
Next stage involves going to rallies with a big sign that says "UNCOMMITTED 2024"
Some dem operative is going to change their name legally to uncommitted so they can drop out and hand Biden the election.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
