“I don’t think Biden has done much as a president. And if Trump gets elected, I just feel like it’s going to be the same thing as it was before Biden got elected,” said poll respondent Devin Fletcher, 37, of Wayne, Michigan, a Democrat who said he’s still voting for Biden.
“I just don’t feel like I have a candidate that I’m excited to vote for,” Fletcher added.
Another poll respondent from New Jersey, who declined to provide her name and voted for Biden in 2020, said she wouldn’t be voting in November.
"Our candidates are horrible. I have no interest in voting for Biden. He did nothing. And I absolutely will not vote for Trump,” this voter said.
Not voting is a vote for Trump.
I don’t understand the logic behind not voting. It’s not the same as voting uncommitted in a primary, which at least gets counted as a voter having an opinion about a candidate. Not voting isn’t registered as anything aside from low turnout, maybe? And possibly increases your chances of being removed from the voter registry.
I’m leaning voting third party which is way better than not voting at all. At least it will increase numbers and show people are fed up with the two party system.
Why not advocate for another election system that will make third parties viable? Basically then, your vote should be towards preserving and improving our democracy.
What better wait to advocate than to practice the idea that third parties are viable candidates by voting for them.
Some days I think the news organizations seek out the shittiest opinions and air them in hopes of getting clicks.
I’d also point out this is a problem of their own making; we’re burnt out with the perpetual election cycle and incessant lack of adult behavior from Congress. I’m extremely dedicated to voting but I’m also fucking tired of it.
Not to mention, the user who posted this is relentlessly negative and pessimistic. I’m all for paying attention to the things happening around us, but being fatalistic about everything doesn’t help anyone.
The average voter pays zero attention to politics but has very strong opinions about what a politician has or hasn’t done.
I know… While Biden is assisting in genocide and domestic spying, there are all these Democrats trying to tell me he is better than Obama.
