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.

    Nah, the number one reason to vote lately is to prevent Trump from pissing all over democracy. Even Republicans are joining in.

      So voting for the uniparty that picked the candidate for you is democracy?

        We’re not a democracy, we’re a republic.

        Not that that’s any better, but there is a difference between the two

          We’re not a democracy, we’re a republic.

          Things Republicans say when defending voter suppression.

              If you don’t want me pointing out that you’re using the same argument here that Republicans use when they’re defending voter suppression, select a different argument than the one Republicans use when they’re defending voter suppression.

                It’s not an argument, it’s a factual statement. There is no debate here. I stated the fact that we are a republic, not a democracy. Am I happy with it? No. So I support it? No.

                It’s not an argument. It’s not a debate. It’s not a defense. It’s just a fact.

                You interpreting this as anything else is entirely your fault.

              That’s the point of Political discussion, to grow your arguments and to learn from mistakes. It isn’t to convince someone to chance their position, that is impossible.

            That’s not blue, it’s aqua! Both are blue Karen!

            A Republic has a Consitution that separates power away from a single person.

            A true Democracy has no means of protecting against a tyrant.

          “That’s not a dog, it’s a German Shepard.”

          A republic is a kind of democracy.

          That’s the common response from shitlibs, ‘we need Biden to save democracy’

            We need someone to stand up to Trump and protect our nation from a Tyrant. So far Joe Biden is the only individual with the titanium balls to do that. So yes, he is the only person standing between our Republic and a Christian Fascist Theocracy.

              Biden has spent his entire career helping build the systems that enabled someone like Trump. Biden isnt fighting fascism, he’s enabled it to happen

                  When he kept most of Trumps worst plans in place while expanding the police state and ramped up war, no he isnt. They are both slightly different shades of fascism
