PHOENIX (AP) -- The 2024 presidential election is drawing an unusually robust field of independent, third party and long shot candidates hoping to capitalize on Americans' ambivalence and frustration over a likely rematch between Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump.

Do whatever the fuck you want to do, bro. When the day comes, you'll have one of several bubbles to fill out, and you'll make the choice you were gonna make anyway. Either you vote strategically for whoever has the best chance to ensure Trump doesn't make it anywhere near the White House, or you vote for whoever makes you feel good, knowing Trump might win. If a second Trump presidency doesn't scare you now, it won't do anything different in a year. If Biden's the nominee, I'll crawl through a mine field covered in broken glass to vote for him. If he's not, I'll do the same for whoever the party nominates to replace him.
Hopefully enough others will vote anyway out of a sense of duty, but non-enthusiastic energy for a candidate will keep some people from going out to vote at all. That is actually a third default choice that takes no energy to do.
I don't know what point you're trying to make. If you told me to swim through a pit of jellyfish to keep Trump away from the White House, I would swim through the fucking jellyfish. Others might chicken out so they can eat cheetos and watch Paw Patrol. Fuck them.
Right beside you, fellow jellyfish-eater. Right beside you.
Others may not, and Biden may lose without them.
I get the worry, but in all honesty if they haven't been absolutely terrified by Trump's rhetoric over the past 7 years, what the fuck else are we supposed to say to convince them? Biden may lose without them. He may also win with them. Your observation seems like an assessment of the wetness of water. It's a statement of fact with little substance.
Ok, just expect the same thing that worked for you to work for everyone.
That's quite literally not what I'm saying, even if you squint REAL hard. Here, I'll repeat the question for those in the back row:
Repeat yourself again. I'm sure that'll work.
I've made this point here in the past. It's a solid point. Wish it didn't lead to down votes.
If a person isn't well off, has poor ballot situations and a kid to tend to... their enthusiasm matters when that next logistical hurdle appears on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
