    Not to worry. Democracy will only be eliminated on day one.

    Trump wants to be dictator, and if he wins we won’t be able to get him out after 4 years. Biden wants to keep the borders open without giving us time to absorb the immigrants already here. WHERE’S OUR THIRD PARTY? WE NEED A MODERATE!

    The republicans insist on running a lying criminal because they want to overthrow USA democracy and turn us into fascist Putin lovers against Ukraine.

    This is going to be an ugly campaign, so try to pay attention to the facts. Biden ISN’T “senile.” He does NOT want “open borders.” There is NO “Biden crime family.”

    That’s why I vote 3rd party lately. Why vote for Option A or Option B if they both suck? If Option C is actually a GOOD option, why not place your vote there? Huh? Because they won’t win? Yeah, most likely. Especially when people keep thinking that way. Make all the excuses you want. It won’t take away the cold shower you’ll want to take after to not feel dirty afterward (Unless you DO think A or B is a good option, in which case rock on to you!). Many have tried to guilt trip me into thinking I’m throwing my vote away for the other guy, but that’s more excuses and they know it. At least I voted with my conscious and not like it’s a Vegas casino. The people who DON’T vote? They have no room to complain because they didn’t even try at all. If people wanna stop this lesser of two evils nonsense, we need people at the ballots, not pessimists sitting at home with a blanket over their heads.

    Well one party is holding primaries, while the other is closing them off, offering n0 choice. One party held debates, while has silenced other candidates. One party is letting voters decide, while one is trying to take free will and choice off the table. Consider what the current leaders are doing, and have done. Everything in this comment is fact. I don’t need the usual crying from the usual suspects.

    How can you tell the system is broken? You can tell the system is broken when it forces you to choose between a couple of 80-year-olds you would not trust to babysit your kid — and selecting one of them to run your country. THAT’S how you can tell the system is broken.

    A lesser version of the Churchill quote?

    Everybody seems to have a narrative divorced from reality. Working people have gained on the rich for the first time in a decade. Stocks have recovered from the 2020 crash. Biden’s done a good job. Would it be nice if he were JFK? sure. it would also be nice if i were 40 years younger…

    Stantis probably approves of the electoral college, and that’s WHY we have two major parties. You need 51%, not just a majority.

    And if nobody wants them, why do they win primaries over anyone else who wants to run?

    You have a choice. Vote for the decent man who is doing the best he can while dragging a Trumpublican millstone of lies and obstruction around his neck. That would be Biden. He’s not perfect, but he’s the clear choice.

    Wow! What a bunch. MAKE UP YOUR MINDS!!!! PICK the one that most approximates the values you hold and vote for that. You will never get the exact match to what just you want. We got a choice this time between a competent old man and a befuddled rapist thief and you are UNDECIDED? Jesus H Christ.

    We have a record of the last three Republican presidents.

    What is something major they accomplished that helped, not the 1%, but the average American? This includes Bush Sr, Jr, and TFG?

    Can someone please tell me a great accomplishment of the last three Republican presidents? What I recall is all three of them left the office with millions and millions out of work by the end of their terms. How does leadership like that help Americans pay the bills and debts of this country?

    President Cheney – uh – I mean Bush Jr left office with the country facing a possible second depression. Then Republicans gave us TFG who had us infected with a hoax and the economy shut down to the point you could not even send kids to school in person. People even needed free money (called stimulus checks) on TFG’s watch just to pay the rent!

    Clinton’s economy was so strong that young people retired early and he passed on the first surplus in my life time. Obama fixed Bush Jr’s failing banks, insurance companies, and manufacturing companies. He got Bin Laden, and brought the troops home. He got “Obama Care” for millions that never had care before. He protected us from SAR’s, Ebola, and more. (Guess who dismantled that protection?) Mr Obama passed on a decent economy to incompetent TFG!

    In just two years, Biden has millions and millions of good paying jobs, and vaccines, and as well, infrastructure improvements for rural America! I ask again,

    What have Republicans done again?

    Any particular reason why the law favors two and only two parties?

    Who wrote those laws, anyway?
