While Biden won the state with more than 618,000 votes, more than 100,000 Michigan Democratic primary voters cast ballots for "uncommitted" in the race, enough to pick up the pair of delegates.
That’s nice in theory, but the reality is, regardless of what the main stream media says. Trump is an EXTREME threat to the future of democracy in this country.
This is a fuck around and find out moment. He wins and you won’t have a chance to “reshuffle” anything now or in 4 years…
For starters, the democracy that permits a candidate like Trump to end it is perhaps a democracy worth ending, especially if it’s a democracy that provides so poorly for its people that they genuinely believe he’s worth electing.
Second, I think it’s hyperbolic. Even with Jan. 6th, he still came nowhere near the coup that mainstream media made it out to be. The people who entered the capitol weren’t hardened rebels or dissidents. There were a few with some means mixed in, but by and large they behaved like tourists, with some acting as vandals, and largely incited (read “entrapped”) and monitored by the FBI. This also isn’t out of character for the FBI, as it had plenty of Muslims they entrapped in the years following 9/11, including one man who was intellectually disabled.
Third and lastly, obviously the Democratic party doesn’t think this is a big emergency, since they’ve had virtually no reaction to polls indicating Biden’s flailing numbers. If they thought this was an emergency then they might do something like encourage primary candidates or for him to step down. If they’re so confident Trump isn’t getting reelected, then I am too.
