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.

    I just spent a Thanksgiving listening to Republican voters discussing putting liberals and LGBTQ into camps. Stop trying to be righteous. We are living on the edge of the end you fucking idiot.

        It’s surprising how complicated life is. I’ve cut off multiple family members but I can’t control who is invited all the time dumbass. Stop being dense.

        Republicans love you for voting third party. And would put you in the camps with my educated ass.

                Be heated all you want. You are still acting the way Republicans want. Voting third party is a part of their wet dreams.

                Collaborator is a funny thing to call me. I am good at pretending to be Republican, which I will continue to do for my kid’s sake. Is it right? IDK. Like I said before life is complex and IDK what is going to happen in the future.

                  I guess thats the difference between us, you save your resistance for the ballot and are priveleged enough to pass through their lives in secret and try to do so. I try to live my resistance and the ballot is a small step along the way.

                  If you and others like you lived your truth in every day life, the Republicans would not have a foothold.

                    Eh, kind of. I can’t live my truth unless my family is safe. The ballot step is huge, it is between us and violence. That violence is the thing I want to avoid. I’m not above being violent but for me personally I can be more damaging by pretending to be something I’m not.

                    I fully support you pushing for change, during the primary. I do the same. After that fucking do the right thing.
