Rashida Tlaib is getting blowback for urging Michigan Democratic primary voters to cast their ballots as “uncommitted” rather than for Joe Biden. But if voters take issue with Biden’s support for Israel’s assault on Gaza, that’s no one’s fault but his own.

    thankfully michigan voters did not snub joe biden.

    he won 80% of the votes cast. in an uncontested primary biden got more than 610k votes. he beat uncommitted 6 to 1.

    despite what people are trying to put out there, the results clearly say biden is on strong footing.

      Not really, Michigan is a swing state and if half the voters who voted uncommitted ended up abstaining in the general election (which they shouldn’t do because Trump is worse) then Biden would lose the state if all the numbers were the same as 2020.

      If Biden doesn’t want Trump to be the next president he should pivot on this issue (and it looks like he already is starting to do so according to the Seth Meyers ice cream trip).

    Hmmm, I wonder why Lemmy is flooded with anti-biden propoganda. Its almost as if certain rich people have a financial incentive to get certain politicians elected

      Why are you putting on a Tucker Carlson JAQing off voice and spouting ad hominem conspiracy theory attack.

      There’s one dude who clearly hates Biden but most of the articles they post are still from neutral reputable sources - this is an important article to discuss.

        All the posts I see is constant negativity and “bidens career is over”, there are bots deticated to slandering Biden. It’s not exactly crazy to think that rich people want to steer public discourse
