I mean, 14% isn't something to scoff at either. I only meant that I was prepared for much more of a crisis scenario to come out of this.
As it stands, a 40% increase in uncommitted votes compared to the last time an incumbent ran is bad, but it's not as bad as I feared, especially considering all the other issues swirling around Biden at the moment.
Civic understanding in this country is fucking terrible. A good number of them, I'd wager, aren't even aware there's a primary on.
It seems insane to those of us who follow politics at all, but having spoken to some people, the surprise is... often genuine. Politics is marginal as an interest for most people in this country.
And yet that was the entirety of your edit.
