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.

Ex Republican here. We loved people like you. We joked about it constantly. A non voter is seen as a Republican vote because it meant we won in the end. Republican voters sort of understand on some level that they are the minority so they see non or protest voters as a victory.

You vote Republican by not voting if you were planning on voting Democratic. It's that simple, no nuance needed.

I blame you directly if Donald wins this time.

Hahaha well you have a great track record for being absolutely wrong so no skin off my back.

Being wrong when uneducated and indoctrinated is one thing. Continuing to be stupid in the face of overwhelming evidence is significantly worse. You are literally a joke to Republicans.

They are a lot of pig fucking idiots, what do I care what they think? What evidence have you presented, aside from dogma and assertions? I never plan to vote Democrat. Democrats have never won my vote, they have just tried to bully me for it

I just spent a Thanksgiving listening to Republican voters discussing putting liberals and LGBTQ into camps. Stop trying to be righteous. We are living on the edge of the end you fucking idiot.

Thats rich, you're eating with these people, breaking bread and kissing their cheek and telling me I'm the problem.

It's surprising how complicated life is. I've cut off multiple family members but I can't control who is invited all the time dumbass. Stop being dense.

Republicans love you for voting third party. And would put you in the camps with my educated ass.

And its good to know enlightened Democrats will sit and eat with them as they plan to March me into a concentration camp. Thanks for your service, braver than the troops o7

Lol. Pride is your sin.

Oh no, a collaborator called me prideful and sinful, guess ill vote Democrat now!! Its laughable how you spineless fucks rationalize your way through this.

Be heated all you want. You are still acting the way Republicans want. Voting third party is a part of their wet dreams.

Collaborator is a funny thing to call me. I am good at pretending to be Republican, which I will continue to do for my kid's sake. Is it right? IDK. Like I said before life is complex and IDK what is going to happen in the future.

I guess thats the difference between us, you save your resistance for the ballot and are priveleged enough to pass through their lives in secret and try to do so. I try to live my resistance and the ballot is a small step along the way.

If you and others like you lived your truth in every day life, the Republicans would not have a foothold.

Eh, kind of. I can't live my truth unless my family is safe. The ballot step is huge, it is between us and violence. That violence is the thing I want to avoid. I'm not above being violent but for me personally I can be more damaging by pretending to be something I'm not.

I fully support you pushing for change, during the primary. I do the same. After that fucking do the right thing.
