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.

    Yeah he’s better than a literal facist who is currently making Nazi speeches and has promised to jail all his political opponents. What an incredibly high bar for Biden to stumble over!

    Having your party position be “Bite your tongue and vote for our shit candidate to prevent the end of democracy” is not a winning position. It’s a terrible strategy guaranteed to lead to less voter turnout.

      People voted for Biden during the primary election. We had Bernie, Warren, Pete and others who LOST to Biden so many Democrats feel he was better than others. Biden is a good candidate minus his age, which becomes slightly irrelevant compared to Trump. Biden has been aggressive in talking about how he has been supporting job creation,unions and getting laws passed despite the current GOP. The “Bite your tongue…” Argument is one of many Biden has (and doesn’t like to use because it of course doesn’t look as great as others)
