I asked YOU, not "other people feel like x"- YouMost Americans don't want either of them to run. I feel the same way.
With the US election a year away, most Americans don’t want Biden or Trump
Polls continue to show both presidential frontrunners ‘as tied as tied can be’, with third-party candidates tying for a distant thirdwww.theguardian.com
I gave the middle finger to BOTH parties decades ago when I became a moderate Independent. The GOP's openly hostile to black folks and for too long, Democrats have taken black voters for granted. I see both parties becoming too extreme. I'm turned off by far-right Trumpism and Biden leaning more to the left. Biden is fooling himself if he thinks the "Trump boogeyman" approach will work again in 2024. He's not winning again without huge black voter turnout.
So honestly, tell me what you are doing about it? We cant get better without working on it and withdrawl does nothing but hand elections to people that just want their way or nothing else, you know, old white folk who vote without fail.
The only way to make things better is a serious change to the biased & corrupt two-party system that's holding the U.S. hostage and preventing real progress. What the Democrats & Republicans need is competition from less-extreme parties and give voters real choices. Unfortunately, to do that, those parties need serious money that they don't have.
Thanks for your input. It’s good to have different voices here. Also, I’m interested to know what issues drive people or whole groups to vote or not vote.
Which the Democrats will remind black voters of the closer we get to the election. Folks are angry now, but it could change come November.
Knowing that the margins are razor thin as far as the electoral college goes, doing that strikes me as not just a throw-away vote but a willingness to throw your hat in with t——, come what may. Do you think a third party candidate will have a reasonable chance of winning? Who is the winner in this scenario? The american people? The fat cats? Is the driver a devil may care attitude? Or, just a middle finger to the whole system, never mind the consequences?
Student loan forgiveness and other repayment programs, lower drug prices, efforts to address climate change, infrastructure funding, the CHIPS and Science Act bringing well-paying jobs, a prescription drug price cap of $2,000 per year for seniors on Medicare, conferring to Medicare the ability to negotiate drug prices for the first time, job creation and the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years, a halt to all federal executions after the previous administration reinstated them after a 17-year freeze, consumer protections by way of an executive order to reduce paperwork and other barriers to obtaining government benefits such as Medicaid, disability, food assistance and unemployment insurance, efforts to address junk fees, those hefty add-ons to hospital stays, hotel rooms, phone bills and more. Boosting the budget of the IRS to reduce tax evasion by corporate entities and the wealthy. Efforts on reproductive rights after the repeal of roe v wade. Filling judicial vacancies at a prodigious clip: (1) associate justice of the Supreme Court; 153 Article III judges; 36 judges for the U.S. court of Appeals; 116 judges for the U.S. district courts. That’s some of the Biden record.
