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”

    I literally never uttered those words.

    “Trump is a fascist we need to beat at the polls”

    He very much is, and you’ve done nothing to convince me to vote any other way than for Biden.

    “Nobody will care if you don’t vote.” I’ll admit it’s a refreshing change.

    I don’t give a single fuck what you do, or how you feel about it. You’re either gonna do what you can to avoid fascism, or you’re not. You wanna sit home on election day and jack off? Fine. We’ll both be put on the wall if the worst case happens, so do whatever the fuck you want in the interim. At least I’m well armed.

    I’m done trying to hold the hand of idiots who can’t see the forest for the trees. You didn’t come here to be convinced, you came here to vent about your fee-fees and complain that nobody sent you a box of puppies and a winning lottery ticket. And now you’ve vented, and none of the rest of us give a shit. We have more important things to worry about. Bye, fool.

      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.

        Then vote for Trump. If you want me to give you permission, then here it is. Fuck off and vote for Trump, and hope for the best.

        Again, BYE.
