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.

      So we’ve gone from “vote blue no matter who” and “Trump is a fascist we need to beat at the polls” to “Nobody will care if you don’t vote.”

      I’ll admit it’s a refreshing change.

        Be fair. Centrists preceded “vote blue no matter who” with “party unity my ass”.

        And they’ll follow up “nobody will care if you don’t vote” with “we were owed your vote and it’s your fault we lost.”

          I don’t want a box of puppies and a winning lottery ticket. I want to not go broke on a dying planet. I don’t think that’s a lot to ask.
