PHOENIX (AP) – The 2024 presidential election is drawing an unusually robust field of independent, third party and long shot candidates hoping to capitalize on Americans’ ambivalence and frustration over a likely rematch between Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump.

    We’re not a democracy, we’re a republic.

    Not that that’s any better, but there is a difference between the two

      We’re not a democracy, we’re a republic.

      Things Republicans say when defending voter suppression.

        If me stating a simple fact upsets you, that’s your own problem.

        I am far from a republicunt, buddy. Even a 2-second look through my profile should show you that.

        Maybe stop drawing absurd conclusions

          If you don’t want me pointing out that you’re using the same argument here that Republicans use when they’re defending voter suppression, select a different argument than the one Republicans use when they’re defending voter suppression.

            It’s not an argument, it’s a factual statement. There is no debate here. I stated the fact that we are a republic, not a democracy. Am I happy with it? No. So I support it? No.

            It’s not an argument. It’s not a debate. It’s not a defense. It’s just a fact.

            You interpreting this as anything else is entirely your fault.
