#SouthDakota Primary Election Results for June 4, 2024... and some thoughts
Trump ran unopposed so he automatically won the GOP nomination.
Biden received the lowest number of votes of any primary race - 74%. Fox and Sinclair are dominant news sources in that state so I am not surprised at the results.
Reflecting on yesterday's primaries in #MT, NJ, NM, #SD & #DC:
• Voter unhappiness with Biden is evident nationally - averaging 11% (except in SD)
• Trump has equal % of support as Biden.
• New Maga candidates are losing in US
• New progressive candidates are also losing
• Most incumbent Maga candidates are narrowly defeating normal GOP opponents
• Overall primary voter turnout is down
The Bottom-line: if Dems and Independents stay home the 🤡 will win.
@Bliss And after this election, if we continue to vote for the "lesser evil", eventually the lesser evil will look and act like Trump, and the worse evil will be worse than that.
Vote Blue.
Then start looking good and hard at who is paying for those people's campaigns, so we can vote for the greater good next time instead of more of the corrupt and lazy offerings we've had up til now that allowed us to get to where we are.
ppl always complain of choices during and after primaries. In college I made a tshirt that said:
"Newt Gingrich happens when only 42% of the electorate shows up to vote."
@Bliss Thank you.
In the Wash DC Primary last night we have an interesting result.
#Nikki Haley won the #GOP nomination for president with 62% of the vote, with trump receiving 33%. #Biden won the #Democratic Primary with only 87% of the vote as the protest vote against him continue.
