The president continues to put up major wins. But the protest campaign in Michigan foreshadows potential problems for him come November.

    Imagine getting 80% of the vote in an unopposed election, in a massively important state, and completely ignoring the explicit reason why. If Biden loses Michigan it will 100% be his fault.

      Worth noting that Michigan lets people vote on either the democratic or republican ballot, regardless of how they are registered. Lot’s of people like myself chose to vote on the republican ballot against Trump because we felt confident in Biden winning. That probably put him closer to 80%.

        Yup. Me too. Had to hold my nose to do it though.

        I hear you, but I don’t think it has much to do with religion at all. The people who voted uncommitted have families and friends who are being indiscriminately murdered day in and day out, and one of the people asking for their vote to stay in power has done just about everything he can to help the ones doing the murdering. Expecting them (as I used to) to just drop their feelings and vote for him anyway, just isn’t tenable when your family is being slaughtered.
