Pulse of Briefers- Election Sentiment 8 Months Out

[catfish1957]

Super Tuesday has passed, and the choices are now set.  What sez Briefers and Lurkers? How are you leaaning 8 months out?

[LMAO]

Skip POTUS here

And vote down ballot

Although too stoned to vote sounds like a good option, also

But no thank you as far as the two top train wrecks go

Biden has proven in spades why I didn't vote for him this time. Given a Democrat Congress, he's been pushed around too much, and the GOP lacks the leverage to push back right now. He's simply not built for this kind of role.

As for Trump... the thought of holding my nose and voting for him, thereby triggering the 22nd Amendment, is tempting. But what happened in March 2020 is disqualfying in my mind... and he's only grown more unhinged and corrupt (see: daughter-in-law as number 2 in the RNC) since then.

Kennedy, for all his antivax blather, would otherwise be no improvement over Biden. He's from the same Northeast Catholic stock.

I've accepted that there is no home for me, as a person of principle, anywhere in American politics right now—and whether there is such a place for me in society as a whole, unable to start my own family, is questionable at this point as well. The majority of people in this country have proven themselves too wedded to cult of personality, partisan politics and their own irresponsibility to care about what makes our country great. People like me are outnumbered and the others don't listen.

I'd have liked a multiple-choice.
No chance of voting anything Democrat.
No chance of voting for the Republican presidential candidate. No circumstance will change that.
Of course I will be voting down-ticket.

But I might could vote for a dark horse 3rd party if it materialized... And I would likely vote CP if I can.

And I just might be too stoned to vote. It could happen. 

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Haven't made up my mind yet but I choose nose-holding.

Look I hate the effin guy.  But I can't imagine another 4 years of dementia Joe hopped up on drugs to let his puppet masters ruin the country.

Ranked  Choice Voting?  That'll fixi it....

Interesting poll, but it doesn't matter. We're getting Biden or some other Dem for 4 more years. And because we're getting Biden or another Dem for 4 more years, we will never have another Republican in the White House. Get used to it.

@catfish1957. You forgot the Kennedy boy.

Same. I hate the dude and i hate his voters... most of them. Hate isn't a pretty emotion, I get it. I'm not proud of it.

After Nixon/Ford, pundits wondered if a Republican would ever win the WH again. After eight years of Reagan and right after GHWB was elected, there was an article in Newsweek at the time that questioned if a Democrat would ever win the WH again. The Republicans were finished after GWB. In fact, James Carville even wrote a book on how Democrats will rule for 50 years.

The GOP is in a funk right now and after Trump loses in Nov, there’s going to be some soul searching. But the pendulum always swings

The GOP has been in a funk since GWB. They've lost every single popular vote.

Because the rats haven't figured out how to kill the constitution......yet

I dunno... But this year I'd be voting

[X] None of the Above

...If the option were present. So all I can do now is ignore the top of the ticket.

GWB did get slightly over 50% of the popular vote in 2004.

And will continue to as long as they keep drifting away from their base.
If I wanted a Democrat, I'd vote for one.

Sad as it is, I think that is correct @AllThatJazzZ but I will be voting for Donald Trump never-the-less.

Really??? That will come as news to many, myself among them.

Trump/Biden is the worst choice ever.  The only way to encourage the major parties to select better candidates is to vote for someone else.  With any luck, they will see "their" votes going to waste, and do something to remedy the situation in 2028.

[catfish1957]

@catfish1957. You forgot the Kennedy boy.

Figured him in as 3rd party.  I'll add him as an example

[catfish1957]

Wow...  2 Biden supporters thus far.  Lurkers I'll guess.

Here's why we're getting 4 more years of Biden (or some other Dem).

Riiiiiiiight. Because how much damage can the Dems do in a 4-year term?

YEP. It's all my fault.

Personally, I find it far more dangerous - FAR MORE - to support big government from the right.

Silly boy! You can't do it alone. 

I personally disagree with your convictions, but that's fine. I'm at the end of my life. I have no kids of my own. Just by virtue of my age, I won't be here to watch America crumble that much longer. I do feel terrible for the subsequent generations, but they have participated in their own undoing by throwing their vote away. I'm choosing not to carry the worry of that anymore. You can't stand in the way of a country that's in the process of destroying itself. Permanently.
