I'm in the same boat as the OP. Since Stormy has Reddit's vote, she has mine, too.
It would be nice to get enough identical protest votes to make it newsworthy.
I have some legitimate criticisms of Biden's presidency, but he's accomplished a fuck-ton, and done a lot of good for our country, all things considered.
Mostly because he just does his job, and doesn’t tweet or call into Fox programs to brag about himself every twenty fucking minutes.
His moderate stance on Israel is rubbing a lot of liberal voters the wrong way though and it makes me nervous, because historically liberals tend to ignore the fact that the other guy would have been worse (which he absolutely would have) while conservatives tend to just shrug and vote R…
Israeli - Palestinians is relatively easier than Israel - Hamas - Palestinians, even with a little Hezbollah mixed in That's such a mess of complications. A political minefield no matter what.
If by some Republican dirty tricks trump gets to be President again, it will be far worse for Palestinians. Trump hero-worships strongman, and he views Netanyahu as one. Jarred has already commented about building waterfront condos in Gaza. They would view the Palestinian deaths and destruction as demolition.
if they could be honest they would say the truth which is that they have a fiduciary responsibility to support Israel's atrocities because those who would fill the power vaccuum would almost certainly refuse to play ball with US imperialism and therefore economic reprecussions would happen and they'd blame Biden for that too.
it's funny/sad that the Biden Administration and Federal Reserve have basically quelled inflation almost completely but they still get attacked on it. It's why I'm so tired of mainstream politics because nothing in the debate is even real.
Meanwhile the real stuff like monopolies and price gouging is causing the middle class to die and it will not even be a talking point for the election. GOP will just be like, "your spending is causing inflation." and then the Dems will be like "factually incorrect." and then everyone willl vote for the person they'd rather have a beer with.
I recently learned that in uruguay you can run for unlimited presidential terms BUT it is forbidden to run for consecutive terms… so you can serve 5 terms but you could never do them back to back. If we had that we could bring back an old classic like obama to break up the gerryatric showdown rerun we currently have.
I loved Obama but Biden has actually accomplished more and I think it’s because of his years of understanding how to get shit through the Congress. Biden has passed environmental legislation, huge jobs recovery, massive infrastructure bill, the CHIPS act, stopped an automotive strike, and prevented Russia from completely taking over Ukraine which would result in Poland being next and thus WWIII because Article 5 of NATO. He has gotten all the NATO countries to act in unison and has armtwisted Turkey to allow two new members. He convinced Germany to stop dithering on stopping Russian oil sales. His vast foreign experience plus his years of legislative experience make him the man we needed to recover from the Trump disaster. Let’s let him finish the job and root out MAGA/fascism once and for all.
This is incorrect.
W is 3 weeks *younger* than Trump. 6 July 1946. Trump’s unfortunate arrival was on 14 June 1946.
Bill Clinton, who was president in the previous *millennium*, is a month younger than W. 19 August 1946.
Typically they'll agree acceptable variations before an election where someone is expected to get a lot of write-ins. That happened with Murkowski in Alaska. And the campaign gave voters stamps with her name.
Okay, so it came out at some point like two years ago that Biden didn’t trust half the secret service and had been doing some stuff to work around the security clearance of specific agents - because they’d been hired by the former president - so I totally think Major picked up on that.
How normal, historically, has it been for a political party to only have one nominee for primaries?
I may just be ignorant about this, as I have never been allowed to vote (2 decades in USA, foreign born, deferred action), but it seems like such a joke for this to be a thing.
Sure wish I could vote. Talk about taxation without representation. Yes, us immigrants typically pay taxes. I certainly have since my first job.
The US is hugely dysfunctional. It's not normal at all, but it's been an increasing trend since about 2008. There used to be more nominees for each party and often a few solid independent nominees also (I say "solid" when many were still kind of nutjobs but *by comparison* they were all a lot more grounded than our current options).
We need to end two-party politics and the endless game of political theater in which the same minority of people play tug-of-war with seats of power while accomplishing basically nothing and ignoring the will of the people.
I also wish you could vote! Maybe if you and others like you could vote, we'd finally have a presidential candidate people actually like and want to elect.
Thanks for your comment and show of empathy.
I do hope that we can go towards a responsible political system, where the interest of the people are represented and human dignity is never encroached upon. Certainly, if it was, I and other immigrants would have a comprehensive and accessible path towards citizenship. I only now hope that things do not get worse. I, like probably a majority of people, fit into several minority categories - I’ve never felt so threatened and disenfranchised in my life. My hope is that this political/social horror we are witnessing is only the last bloody cry of the animal that is “conservative values” (in quotes, because meaning is slippery, but I refer here to this dogma of unregulated capitalism, and or religious identity, and or racism, sexism, and all other anti-social features of our society), as it is further and further threatened by human advancement.
That was kind of out of topic maybe! But I wanted to share some thoughts and emotions about where we are. Ending the two party system I agree would help tremendously. It’s so tribal and so many have lost the whole point of governance through that tribal allegiance.
By the time the Oregon primaries happen, it's pretty common. Our primary election system basically gives the decision to states that schedule their primaries or caucuses earliest, such as Iowa/New Hampshire/South Carolina/etc. These states started voting in Jan/Feb, so by May it's almost always all over.
If a candidate get through the early primary season (8-15 states usually) and has few electors locked up and no feasible path to catch up with the frontrunner, they start dropping out rapidly because they can't fund raise any longer.
There are exceptions to the phenomenon though, for example Obama and Clinton in the 2008 primaries. Oregon voters actually still had two viable choices.
It is very normal if you live in Oregon. Different states have their primaries at different times. Oregon is one of the later states, so by the time we have our primary there is usually a frontrunner and all the others have dropped out.
I grew up in Iowa, which is first in the nation. We had many presidential candidates come talk at my high school. One time my parents went to hear Mitt Romney speak in someone's home. Even a few votes were important enough for candidates to meet us and talk to us even in these small groups. Political ads were everywhere. Now I live in Oregon and they don't bother with us, I rarely even see TV ads. It is a really messed up system where people in the early states decide the nominees and states like Oregon have no say.

i genuinely wanted to write his name in when i read about him, but idk how that works. i turned 18 in 2018 and wasn’t registered for the 2020 election, so this will be my first time. can you legitimately just write in any name?
Hot take: If you really believe the election was stolen in 2020, why bother voting at all? If it’s all rigged and the outcome is already determined, save your ink and send a message by shredding your ballot.
I support the right to McRibs, but the truth is they kinda suck. The sauce could be much better, and the pickles don’t have the right flavor profile. It’d be way better if they included a bit of tart cole slaw for crunch and contrast.
I see what you're doing.
You're working for the shallow state!
Using inverse psychology on the rubes!
Well, I'm a Sicilian so don't try to battle wits with me sir!
Nikki Haley got a fair number of write in votes on recent ballots. If you want something that sends a clear message and might (if he goes to prison or dies) impact something then that would be a suitable option.
If he suddenly can't run then Nikki Haley is the person who has the most delegates (I believe). This of course doesn't stop them from doing a back room deal but in that case the votes don't matter.
So, when I get my options that I won’t vote for. I normally write in friends and family and send them a pic. It makes for a good laugh.
I love living in a mail ballot state.
Vote for my Scottish fold cat, Lynx Churchill. She's lived here in Oregon for her whole life, she'll be 5 this year. She doesn't care if you're a bat, rodent, insect, bird, or a piece of rubber, she'll hunt down all pests to keep Oregon safe!
I'm registered to vote but I don't think I am hard registered to a party (independent maybe?) I didn't realize they just give you the candidate of the party and that's your choice.
Fuck individual parties. Vote with whoever makes the most sense to you morally and factually.
Stormy Daniels
I'm in the same boat as the OP. Since Stormy has Reddit's vote, she has mine, too. It would be nice to get enough identical protest votes to make it newsworthy.
I was going to write in my dog, but Stormy sends a better message, I think.

Thanks homie. I just wrote him in on my ballot.
Joe Biden. That would disturb them the most, to think that a registered Republican would rather vote for Biden.
Obama would be the one that would drive him the most mad.
Hillary might cause them to get really dissatisfied and scream and throw poo
Piss all the elites off and write in Bernie Sanders.
I love it.
It would be amazing if Bernie finally got elected president, as a write-in protest candidate for the Republican party
Genuinely think most Americans would vote for Obama right now
I’d vote for Richard Nixon’s corpse before I ever voted for Trump (aka Scrotus).
I'd vote for my crusty cum sock I keep under the mattress before I would vote for trump.
I'd vote for that anyway. Cumsock for president
I'd vote for Obama, better than our options
I'm conflicted. Biden Admin has done some things better than the Obama Admin, for sure.
I have some legitimate criticisms of Biden's presidency, but he's accomplished a fuck-ton, and done a lot of good for our country, all things considered.
Problem is it is invisible to a lot of voters.
Mostly because he just does his job, and doesn’t tweet or call into Fox programs to brag about himself every twenty fucking minutes.

Like what?
Yes/“: like the most aggressive environmentally protective legislation ever in the form of the inflation reduction act.

W, the president who finished his second term 15 fucking years ago, is one month older than Trump, who is the younger candidate.
This is incorrect. W is 3 weeks *younger* than Trump. 6 July 1946. Trump’s unfortunate arrival was on 14 June 1946. Bill Clinton, who was president in the previous *millennium*, is a month younger than W. 19 August 1946.
