They haven't done that, either.

How much coverage should a guy polling in the low single digits get? Over here, the cut-off is 5%, but that level is entry to Parliament. Should Kanye West have received the same coverage when he ran?

I prefer anyone who does not feel compelled to qualify that he would not eat a human.

your numbers are way off. he's got a lot of fans and a name. half the voters are now independent.the big ticket guys are getting worse all the time. it's possible. Otherwise, Trump. That's why i'd certainly rather see rfk jr. Don't make it sound insane.
You're wrong about the treatment he's getting. Biden not giving him secret service protection is fucked up. In past elections, candidates with much less support were granted the service. You might recall that his dad and uncle were assassinated. Makes it outlandish. Shits on history.

Big media did Kucinich similarly, when he ran. Pity, he's a bright, decent guy. He's Jr.s campaign manager. Fun.
I have doubts we'll have an election. Feels that surreal. Could get crazy. (Crazier)
politics doesn't fulfill me anymore. i'm more concerned about the beech blight and the pollinators. Less propaganda in the forest. Less censorship.

may not even vote this time. if i do, it'd be for Stein. Symbolic gesture. Electoral college disables liberals votes in red states.

But stank!! Oh my heaveans NOES!!! It's been bandied about here at this august institution that a no vote is a vote for Little Hitler the Mango Man. Personally, I disagree with such nonsense. A no vote sends it's own message about the two idiots both being unacceptable Presidential material. And they jolly well fucking are unacceptable. I wouldn't hire either one of these morons as a bloody toilet attendant. But in all fairness, Joe at least has a good excuse: He's off the fucking rails and needs to sit in front of the weather channel 24/7 with a drool cup attached and his O2 tank by his side. Little Hitler on the other hand is just a rotten piece of shit son of a bitch corrupt narcissistic coward.

(What.... Over the top? Well, too fucking bad.)

It's a zero sum game. If Biden (or whoever they replace him with) doesn't win this election, Trump will be King for life.

If you don't vote, you are squandering what will possibly be your last chance to vote for a President at all.

Perhaps.

I don't believe a word of that.

If you're feeling down, I have something to cheer you up!

Sportsbet, the leading political odds site, now has Kamala Harris as 2nd favourite to be president, at $6-50, while Joe has slipped to $7-50.

He's not giving up, though!

Clearly, nobody believes Biden can win or those odds would be getting hammered.

Me neither, but I wish I were more confident in that non-belief.

You don't believe that Trump and the Republicans will systematically dismantle American democracy so that Trump can be dictator for life?

Okay.
