I think the 100k that voted 'uncommitted' in the Michigan primary shows that there is a level of discontent with the current administration. Now I would hope that those who made that protest vote, which in my primary here I also made that same type of vote, would still vote for Biden and not vote for a Nazi or sit the vote out but let's be real, Democrats aren't like Republicans where they will almost always vote for the hard 'R'.
So I'm my opinion, it's a valid concern, maybe not a huge one but given how stupid our electoral system is, it's still a valid concern.
Exactly. They have been given ample warning on this and other issues, and are choosing to ignore it in the hope they can just browbeat everyone to fall behind Biden. If he loses, rather than doing any reflection or admitting they need to change course hard on a number of issues, they'll opt for acting shocked before they start punching left and trying to pin a loss on socialists.
Jews and Big Pharma are who funds the Democrat campaigns, telling them to stop taking that money is just not going to work in any practical sense.
Zionists, not Jews. There's some overlap, to be sure, but AIPAC and fundamentalist Christians are two peas in a pod, and there are many Jews who reject Israel and everything it stands for. It's antisemitic to conflate Jews and Zionists.
I think you are crazy if you think those uncommitted are Dems and not Republicans. A LOT of people voted for Haley.
