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.

    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.

      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.

            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:
