Biden Relies on Extremists in His Party
The Michigan Primaries: Biden’s Dependence on the Crazies
The Michigan primaries on Tuesday night brought forth an intriguing story. Despite being an incumbent president, Joe Biden only managed to secure 80% of the vote, with a significant number of Michigan voters opting for the uncommitted option.
What’s even more fascinating is the concerted effort by certain factions within the Democratic Party in Michigan to challenge Biden’s support for Israel. These individuals, some of whom are supporters of Hamas, went to great lengths to demonstrate that unless Biden shifted his allegiance from Israel to Hamas, he would lose Michigan to Donald Trump.
This raises a crucial question: Why is Joe Biden so reliant on the extremists within his own party?
It’s worth noting that Biden initially positioned himself as a moderate during the 2020 primaries, running against the likes of Bernie Sanders, a self-proclaimed socialist. However, with the endorsement of Jim Clyburn in South Carolina and the unified support of the Democratic Party to thwart Sanders, Biden secured the nomination and ultimately defeated Trump in the election.
Yet, Biden made a critical mistake. Instead of being a pragmatic leader, he aspired to be a transformative president like LBJ or FDR. This meant embracing the most radical aspects of left-wing politics, from woke ideologies to progressive foreign policies.

However, the realities of foreign policy often force presidents to adjust their positions once in office. George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and even Donald Trump all experienced this shift. Biden, too, promised to withdraw from Afghanistan and reduce America’s global involvement, but circumstances compelled him to maintain indirect-direct involvement in ongoing conflicts.
This inability to fully embrace his left-wing agenda, particularly in foreign policy, has hindered Biden’s presidency. The disastrous pullout from Afghanistan severely damaged his approval ratings, which have remained low ever since.
If Biden had governed as a moderate, seeking consensus and restoring a sense of normalcy, he wouldn’t be facing the challenges he does now. However, he has alienated his once loyal base, leading many to consider Trump as a viable alternative.
It’s remarkable that Biden is losing support from independents, who were initially put off by Trump but are now shifting back to him. This can be attributed to Biden’s pursuit of a historic legacy, which has overshadowed his political instincts.
Biden’s dependence on the extremist wing of his party is evident in his stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict. While the majority of Americans support Israel, the radical elements within the Democratic Party hold a different view.
Biden has the option to navigate away from the crazies and adopt a moderate position on various issues. However, the current political landscape favors extreme positions rather than appealing to the majority.

By abandoning his initial approach, Biden finds himself in a precarious situation. He is now pressuring Israel during a war against a terrorist enemy, despite the broad support for Israel among the American people.
Biden’s insistence on international law as a guiding principle is flawed. International law is often disregarded by those who create it, and it is selectively applied to serve specific agendas. Relying on it to dictate policy is misguided.
Ultimately, Biden’s desire for votes in Michigan has led him to make questionable decisions and align himself with the extremists within his party. This is the story of what unfolded in Michigan on Tuesday night.
It remains to be seen whether Biden will recognize the need to appeal to the majority and regain the support he once had.
What possible explanation is there for Joe Biden’s reliance on the radical members of his party?

Furthermore, Biden’s reliance on the extremists within his party has contributed to the division within the Democratic Party itself. The faction that challenges his support for Israel and aligns itself with Hamas creates a schism within the party, weakening its unity and ability to effectively govern. This division plays into the hands of the Republicans, who can use it as ammunition to criticize the Democrats’ stance on foreign policy and national security.
So, why is Joe Biden so reliant on the crazies within his party? One possible explanation is the fear of losing their support. The Democratic Party has become increasingly progressive over the years, with left-wing ideologies gaining traction. Biden, in his quest to secure the nomination and ultimately defeat Trump, made the strategic decision to align himself with the progressives within the party.
However, this alliance is a double-edged sword. While it helped Biden secure victory in 2020, it has come at the cost of accommodating the extreme views of a vocal minority within the party. By catering to the demands of the radicals, Biden has alienated the more moderate voters – the ones who ultimately hold the key to winning swing states like Michigan.
The Michigan primaries serve as a wake-up call for Biden and the Democratic Party. They can no longer afford to ignore the concerns and preferences of the moderate voters. Alienating them in favor of the radical elements will only lead to further division and weaken their chances of winning future elections.
Moving forward, Biden needs to find a balance between the demands of the radicals in his party and the preferences of the moderate voters. He must prioritize consensus-building, pragmatic leadership, and effective governance. Only by doing so can he regain the trust of the electorate and strengthen his presidency.
The Michigan primaries have shed light on Biden’s dependence on the crazies within his party. It is a dependence that has cost him the support of moderate voters and created a division within the Democratic Party. To secure his legacy and pave the way for future Democratic leaders, Biden must reassess his strategy and prioritize the needs of the majority over the demands of the extremists. Only then can he truly lead the country towards progress and unity.
