    Trump gained 110k votes over his 2020 performance.

    Biden lost over 200k.

    Y'all, strap in.

        This smells like 'Whose on first'. But also nobody is electable if you don't vote for them.

          Pretty sure Abbie Hoffman or The Hog Farm did it in the 60's

    What's great is that one of the two delegates come from Ann Arbor - a college town home to Michigan State University with very little amount of Arab population. Ann Arbor is predominantly young and white and affluent (due to faculties living there as well).

    Can Biden afford to lose Dearborn, Michigan in general election? Sure, maybe he can tank the hit. Can Biden afford to lose 15% of his base (college kids + faculties) in State College, Pennsylvania (home of Penn State University), Chapel Hill, North Carolina (home of UNC), Atlanta and Athens, Georgia, and other college towns across swing states? Hell no. Get fucked. Young college kids are also more likely to just don't vote, rather than being coerced into lesser of two evils.

      We've got the University of Michigan here in Ann Arbor, Michigan State University is in Lansing. Very distinct and unique names /s

      But yeah, checks out. Very much an affluent "middle class" city. The genocide in Gaza has stirred militancy in the student population here and in the surrounding area, Biden is not popular.

    Next stage involves going to rallies with a big sign that says "UNCOMMITTED 2024"
