    John Stewart for POTUS.

    I don’t care if he doesn’t want it; that just makes him more suitable.

    Probably ninety percent of those would want to replace any relevant Democrat that made it on the ballet. Big deal. What a useless story.

      What?

      This is percentage of Biden voters…

      The majority of people who would vote for him. Wishes there was any other option.

      That’s a pretty big story

    Sure I’d rather vote for someone with Bernie’s politics but that’s not on the table right now. I’ll happily vote for Biden over literal christo-fascism and the destruction of our democracy any fucking time.

          When people we won’t vote against literal fascism because the alternative isn’t their ideal candidate then ya. Republicans have no reason to not choose a dictator as their candidate next time when the dictator this time has a legitimate chance of actually winning.

          What needs to happen is for the Republicans to lose so abysmally that they see this shit isn’t going to work and they restructure and kick out the crazies.

      Every election we will be faced with 2 shit choices, and voters are to blame for keeping it that way

    Geez, i expected more fighting in the comments, but everyone here’s just dunking on op and calling them a “bad actor” so I’ll start one.

    Is there even a single comment about the content of the article? Some of y’all commenting on FUD and OPs contributions should take a hard look at their contribution to both this comment chain, and Lemmy in general. I hope it looks better than what i see.

    Anyway, enough of how disappointed i am with you, all of you, and on to the article.

    Most of the article is just polling opinions, so not a lot to see, but i thought this part was interesting:

    Fewer voters also say “it really matters who wins” the 2024 presidential race compared to those that said the same at this point in the 2020 cycle. Back then, 80 percent of Trump supporters and 77 percent of Biden supporters said the race really matters — but those figures have now dropped to 70 percent each.

    This is surprising. I thought most people considered this election even more important than the last!

    Is there a record somewhere of “election importance”? How far back does it go? Is this 7-10% drop normal?

    By the way OP. As someone often critical of Biden i too get called a russian or chinese tank sometimes, so i feel close to ya. Thanks for contentin’ and shit. here’s an upvote from me <3

      The most important election in history is always the one happening next year.

    I vote Republican (apparently I’m the only one on Lemmy) and I’m part of this percentage. I don’t care for either candidate, but both sides are going to vote for their candidate, because both sides have the “anyone but him” mentality.
