I will not vote D or R in 2024 and going forward. I have voted almost exclusively third party since 2000. I mistakenly voted Obama once and will never vote Democrat or Republican. We desperately need to break the stranglehold of controlled opposition that the duopoly holds on our election system. It is neither free nor fair.

How could someoneтАЩs sincere expression of who they think is the best person to lead the country ever be тАЬpissing in the windтАЭ. People didnтАЩt die for our right to vote to turn elections into rigged choices between two corporate puppets.

I will be casting my vote for Claudia de la Cruz for President and Karina Garcia for Vice-President. They are the candidates of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. You can learn more about their campaign @ votesocialist2024.com

What "changed" when Trump was President?

What exactly was "better" about America when Trump sat on the throne?

How'd the National Debt do? How did national "defense and security" budgets do? How many people died when he was in charge of America's COVID response? How many people were thrown out of work or lost their business because he deemed them "non-essential? How many Ukrainians were killed by Kyiv when he was POTUS MAXXIMMUSS XLV, and did absolutely nothing to stop it except to give Putin justification for his SMO? And to give America's MICC its greatest gift since Cheney/Bush the Lesser gave that same MICC 9/11?

And You already know the "third party candidate" i have in mind, so pull out Your copy and paste responses to "None Of These Candidates," Mr Merwood, and have Your fun.

Which Question did i fail to answer? Whether my individual, personal life was worse under Trump 1.0 than it is under Biden?

Your "turn" to ask that Question comes after You answer the Questions about:

Trump's Deficits, Debt, Defense Budgets, COVID Casualties [medical, economic, and financial], and Ukrainian and Russian Casualties [as in killed, maimed, orphaned, widowed or widowered, and/or rendered jobless, homeless, helpless, and hopeless Refugees].

The only thing i see that was in any way any different or better under Trump than Biden is that Trump didn't bankroll America's MICC by arming and equipping Israel for its activities in Gaza. But Biden certainly cashed in on what Trump let Zelenskyy and his Neo-Nazi Thugs in Kyiv do and get away with in Eastern Ukraine, killing 14,000.

Other than that, Biden 1.0 is virtually almost totally indistinguishable from Trump 1.0.

Wrong, Denny. The only wasted vote is the one for a D or R and expecting it to benefit US citizens and the world. I will always vote for the candidate whose policies support the working class and peace. Your obvious satisfaction with the status quo and resignation that it cannot change is the problem. It is not your fault; you've been conditioned as have we all. The difference is that I recognize the need for solutions and change. Please do me a favor and get out of the way, Denny.
