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.

      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.

          Right beside you, fellow jellyfish-eater. Right beside you.

          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 may not, and Biden may lose without them.

              Ok, just expect the same thing that worked for you to work for everyone.

                  what the fuck else are we supposed to say to convince them?

                  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.
