"Uncommitted" Comes in 2nd in Michigan Dem Primary (Includes Reader Poll)
This is a great strategy
On February 27, over 100k (13.3%) of Michigan voters, led by congressmembers like Rashida Tlaib (D-Mi) went to the polls and voted “Uncommitted” in the Democrat primary due to Genocide Joes’s support of the destruction of Gaza and the further murder and oppression of the Palestinian people.
Proving that many voters have more misplaced loyalty, than brains, or guts, Genocide Joe still received 81.1% (620k votes). His two challengers Williamson and Phillips combined received less than one-half of the “Uncommitted” votes. To be fair, I believe Williamson dropped out after Arizona, so she did pretty well in Michigan, considering.
Polls are dumb and polls are fluid, changing daily, but the last polls I saw for swing states in the general elections in November, showed that “Independent” (to be distinct from the Demo-Publican Zionists) Zionist RFK Jr was getting between 6-8% of the vote with the Green Party and Libertarian party polling at a dismal 1%, each.
In this swing state poll, I don’t remember exactly what numbers Trump or Biden received, but Trump was clearly winning with the fact that 3rd party and independents did not affect the final count between the Twin Parties of War and Wall Street.
You all know, or should know, that I think voting for POTUS is a farce, but, if you are going to cast your meaningless vote in compromised elections, instead of wasting time and money on “lesser” candidates, support Peace in Palestine the way voters did, in a big way, in Michigan.
What is the purpose of 3rd parties or independents in bougie politics? Bernie’s role was to “sheepdog” (thanks Bruce Dixon, RIP) people into, or keep them in the Blue War Party. Of course, Bernie is the quintessential Democrat in every way, but name only.
What is the role of the GPUS and LP if they can only muster 1% of the vote in the general election? Millions of dollars and millions of volunteer hours down the tubes because the U.S. has no ranked voting, proportional representation, or any interest in hearing alternative policies, or people? In my humblest opinion, there should be far more local organizing for 3rd parties. Neither party seems to be able to put forward candidates that resonate, or excite, voters to any significant degree.
RFK Jr. is very slowly gathering ballot access and some attention, but, he has foot in mouth-itis, plus some heavy baggage. Despite the fact he is the scion of political royalty, it’s not enough to make him even a spoiler. Besides, I am not sure what or who would be getting spoiled. As someone who admired him and loved his book on Dr. Falsie, the more I see from him, the less I am impressed.
Anywho, Super-Duper-Pooper-Scooper Tuesday in in a few days. I will go vote because my favorite (living) first baseman, who was on my team (the Dodgers), is running for Senate. Yes, he’s a Republican, but at this point, what’s the difference and the very fact he was a vacuum at first base AND a power hitter on the best team is as good a reason as any to vote for a candidate. The massive traitor and liar Adam Shifty cannot win. He should be in prison for his Russiagate bullshit, but the Garbage People reward crimes and we voters are insignificant to them.
So, after I vote for the Iron Man, Steve Garvey, I will write in “Uncommitted” on my ballot for POTUS, for whatever it’s worth. I am a registered Independent in California, so I can request a Democrat ballot. In Cali, we have Top Two, or “jungle primary” so we can vote cross-party in down ballot races.
These are a few of my disorganized thoughts on the fine Thursday morning, what do you think?

I think I’ll burn it.
My favorite baseball movie is "Moneyball." Maybe it's my anal retentive, left-brained side coming out, but I watch all the clips on YouTube whenever they pop up...which, since YT tracks me like an animal, they do quite often. I like to play a game with the algorithm by selecting something totally random and watching the "suggestions" it makes for me. Sheesh..."social media" plays us like a fiddle. That is until Elon gets us all "wired" with his brain chip. Then it will be so easy for the oligarchs to control the population. Just flip the "kill" switch and watch people drop like flies. No need for "vaccines" then...but of course...folks will still line up for them like there's no tomorrow...or donuts. God have mercy on our souls.
