Four_oh_fore_error comments on Discussion Thread: 2024 Democratic and Republican Presidential Primaries in Michigan

Functionally two incumbents in the ballot

Incumbent A: pulls 85% and has 15% for some amorphous “other”

Incumbent B: pulls 66% and has 30% actively for a named competitor

It’s clear who’s in trouble and it’s Candidate B.

the logic that 15% of your state's party base actively voting for "no one you are offering, fuck you" being more optimistic than a divided electorate between candidates, one of which will inevitably fold and endorse the other upon which their broader voter base will be absorbed, is entirely unserious motivated reasoning

do they not think that ≤80, fuck, ≤90% of Cruz primary voters held party line in 2016. this is your brain on believing never-trump republicanism to be a mover and shaker in american politics

If actual competitors like Newsom, Whitmer, or Sanders were in the race the results would not be 85% Biden.

If my cat had two wheels and handlebars it would be a bike.

Because it isn’t a cult of personality
