Zippy the Bummer posted:there are rumors on the right that the dems will put michelle in at the convention. she was at 11/1 odds to win a few days ago, third behind trump and biden Hasn’t Michelle said a million times she hates DC and doesn’t want to set foot in it again? Unless they force her to run somehow. Has there ever been a candidate that was basically coerced into running for prez? William Howard Taft seemed ambivalent about it at best.

Rauros posted:i've consumed enough sci-fi/fantasy fiction to know that the best leader would be the one that doesn't want it Every American presidential candidate has to do a whole Cincinnatus song and dance about how they fear the lure of power but are compelled by Duty and Love of Country to assume the mantle of leadership with utmost fear and trembling. Voters tend to frown on those who don’t at least pretend to go through those motions. It’s why Hilldawg came off as repugnant to many (e.g. “It’s Her Turn”).

The argument that third parties are throwing your vote away doesn't carry much water when people already feel like blue no matter who is a waste of a vote.

They said in 2020 that a vote for a third party was a vote for the incumbent. So it follows that in 2024, a vote for a third party is a vote for Joe Biden.
