Good luck with that.

I don't know. Write-in24 might be on to something. Maybe tapping into a rank-and-file Democrat zeitgeist.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/07/polit...nds/index.html

Most Democratic voters wish they had an alternative to Biden

A broad 67% majority of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters now say it’s very or extremely likely that Biden will again be the party’s presidential nominee, up from 55% who felt that way in May. But 67% also say the party should nominate someone other than Biden – up from 54% in March, though still below the high of 75% who said they were seeking an alternative last summer.

That remains largely a show of discontent with Biden rather than support for any particular rival, with an 82% majority of those who’d prefer to see someone different saying that they don’t have any specific alternative in mind. Just 1%, respectively, name either of his two most prominent declared challengers, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. or Marianne Williamson.


So most Dems aren't happy with Biden, but the current available alternatives aren't appealing either. So, if you're a Dem, you either hold your nose and vote for Biden, vote for one of the other lefty candidate alternatives, or write in an alternative.

While that ray of sunshine brightens a MAGAt's day, those very same Democrats will still vote for Biden over Maga Lardo, again. That third party/write-in candidate malarkey is just a tactic to siphon off the votes of Repubs and independents that voted for Biden last time.

As excited as I was regarding Write-In 2024 project, looks like the OP wants out of this forum. Assume he ran out of insults.

So, in the fine old tradition of duopolies this idea is a new twist on 'rodent fornication'.

All he needs to do is stop posting or he can go one step further and request banishment.

This thread is educational in that it's yet another twist on ratfucking the vote by siphoning off voters from the Democratic candidate, imo.

No sale here.

Just more of the your guy is just as bad.

Note the Pierro rant Chicks or Finn linked. She wanted HRC to be disqualified because she was 'technically' under FBI investigation (Comey sucks), yet here we are with 91 indictments and counting (fraud from soliciting contributions based on the BIG LIE) and nary a word because Repugnants are hypocrites.

Let's wait till October 23rd when the Chesebro & Powell cases start and this will be on TV. I am certain that Faux will call for a boycott of the proceedings so most MAGAts will miss on the action claiming election intereference without realizing that this is what the RICO case is all about.

A write in or third party vote is just camouflage, a weak attempt at best. To vote for Trump by proxy with an excuse and deniability attached.

Foolishly arguing it as a plausible alternative to others.
