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.

    It’s always funny to me when these articles claim dems are worried about this No Labels group. It’s kinda asinine. That’s just not the kinda thing that appeals to dems that much. Makes me almost certain it’s just someone writing that kinda wants dems to be worried.

    We, honestly, kinda like labels. They’re terribly convenient. Like, when you run into a Jewish-hating, militaristic, strong ethno-state type individual, it’s just really nice if there can just be this one word that can be used to describe that person. Because, y’know, “Jewish-hating militaristic ethno-state individual” is just a pain in the ass to use.

    Now, certain types really don’t like labels. They like to whine about identity politics for instance. I think they will like this party.
