Another reason why I'm not that concerned about Trump's many flaws.It's come to this:
Whoever "wins", America loses.
So in other words you're saying it'll be just like every other election in living memory?It's come to this:

You have some reading to do to catch up:^ Umm, what???
I don't know, unless it's to wake up the people...?I still have a question after going through that site.
Why would he run for president if he is still in charge?
that ship has sailed a long while ago...Republicans hope to win Black voters for Trump. It won't be easy.
Interesting that Russia & China care at all about US elections.... As for Mr. Maddow... I don't listen to his diatribes... If I did I would have taken the jab....U.S. foes exploit Trump's divisiveness with fake MAGA accounts; China adopts Russian tactics
Biden holds NO views unless a child is near... then it's sniff, sniff, sniff...

But at the most basic level, they all mean the same thing: Voters aren't thrilled with their options.
Research bears this out: A 2020 working paper published by the Vienna University of Economics and Business, based on surveys conducted in the weeks preceding the 2016 U.S. presidential election and the 2016 Austrian runoff election for president, found that manipulating ballots to include a "none of the above" option increased participation. It also diverted votes from "non-establishment candidates," which matches up with Virginia's results and may be a cautionary note for reformers who would prefer to juice the stats of third party options instead.
"None of the above," the researchers explain, is "chosen more frequently by voters with a protest motive, who are either unhappy with the candidate set or with the political establishment in general"—an increasingly common condition as the post-primary portion of 2024's election starts to take off.
and they still haven't figured out who left the pipe bomb at the Capitol... weird....
...
In a parallel universe, the voters in every state either select "none of the above" or write it in to the tune of 60% of the primary vote. What happens in such an eventuality?
