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.

    the proof that biden isnt the guy isnt exactly his age, but its his age.
    its that he apparently lacks the awareness required to understand he needs to fucking retire already… that these ancient political monoliths need to go.

    that lack of awareness is whhy he personally is not fit to be president.

    then theres the whole reality of ‘democrats are conservatives’ now, so actual democratic voters have to hold their nose and vote non-fascist while the DNC pretends the party is still relevant to the common man somehow.

    its been frustrating to watch for decades democrats fumble the ball at literally every play

      Dropping out now is ideal, but he’d be forgoing both incumbency advantage and name recognition. I know why he doesn’t drop for a younger person. Also because there are no prominent Democrats with enough name recognition right now. People can throw stones about why there aren’t all day long but at this point it’s too late.

        but at least they aren’t fascists.

        Second worst to fascism shouldn’t be the best we can ever hope for.

          It’s not the best we can hope for, no one ever said that. It’s what we have. 10 times out of 10, I’ll take second worst to fascism as opposed to fascism.
