It's not just the main candidates, it's the policies they enact and the people they appoint to run the different departments.

Are you happy with the status quo, an administration that has gotten us involved in wars and let immigrants flood the borders and our cities?

Vote them out.

I certainly will be leaving the Biden choice blank.

I'm supporting Jacob Hornberger in 2024. He's the closest thing to Ron Paul since... Ron Paul.

I'm curious, though. Why don't you like Chase Oliver?

I suspect large number of Arab-American voters who are out to punish Joe B will leave the top of the ticket blank. This will likely cost him WI and MI

He's too young (imo), has almost no political experience, and supports ranked choice voting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chase_Oliver There is no mention of his education, and as for his past background, 13 years in the restaurant business is mentioned, along with the positions as an HR rep and sales account executive. Hardly presidential material, in my opinion.

P.S. Btw, I only mentioned Oliver because he has been in the most primaries this year, although Ballay received almost 22,000 votes in the California primary. I would be happier with either Ballay or Hornberger, although Ballay doesn't seem to hve any real political experience, either, and Hornberger is too old (74) for my liking. (I don't know anything about the other Libertarian candidates.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_L...tial_primaries

Let's face it -- ALL the current candidates for POTUS are horrible (imo). Why there aren't any politically experienced and sane candidates between the ages of 45 and 65 is beyond my understanding.

I am not afraid of another 4 years of either Biden or Trump, even though I think they both contributed to the mess we are in now, so I wont reward either of these losers for terrible job performance.

My vote will be a protest vote, because at the end of the day, whether it is Biden or Trump I will still find a way to live my life and be successful. Unlike these whiny retards that have to rely on a politician to hold their hand and figure **** out.



The problem is not that we need to hold the hand of a politician to have him help us figure **** out, we hold their hands to keep them out of our pockets and away from our money.



The biggest threat to this country is the Open Border and Biden is all for it. The Dems are all for it. Biden broke it on day one of his term and he refuses to fix it. Illegal Aliens are costing every State hundreds of millions of dollars. In my state, MA. the admit that the Illegals are costing us $70 Million per month. The actual number may be closer to $100 Million with more of the "migrants" arriving everyday. Where is that money coming from? The answer is tax increases and services to citizens being cut. Okay you don't get welfare but how about the road/ bridge in your town that is being pushed back due to lack of funding? Perhaps the Police and Fire departments can't get new equipment because there is no money? The schools need translators so there will be a proposition 2 1/2 over ride and it goes on and on.


A third party vote may be a protest vote but what chance does that candidate really have? There can be only one choice come Election day and the question is, do you think America is worth saving?

He has been an unequivocal disaster. The damage he's done - and continues to do - may take decades to unwind. As such, I'm voting for Trump. He was a decent President, but his childish antics are growing tiresome. I'll take childish antics over complete incompetence and a relentless anti-American attitude any day of the week. Biden has got to go, even it requires voting for Trump.
Ditto. Well said.

As a Democrat, I'm sitting this one out, and on election day I'm going to dream, dream, dream that we break this country up into 4 or 5 countries, and there'll be 4 or 5 Presidential races to watch.

Love, Loathe or Lump him we all need to vote for Trump. This country cannot take another 4 years of Biden and his Ilk.
You don't.

Who you yourself vote for isn't going to make a material difference.

You live in MA.

Whether you vote for Trump or vote for your cat, Biden is still going to win MA.
