    71% of the country say we are on the wrong track (20% approve).

    57% of the country disapproves of the job Biden is doing with the economy (38% approve).

    50% of the country says things will get worse (20% think will improve)….

    Wrong track doesn’t mean the republicans have the right track. In fact, generic ballot polls are 45% to 45%, an even split with 10% preferring no one.

    Gerrymandering and the state breakdown favor republicans but people are even split even in this economy.

    Some of us don't fit either party. Time for more options.

    I’m not looking at “party”. Rather, I’m looking to see if a candidate is an election denier. If he or she is, then I’m concluding he or she is a spineless twit masquerading as a patriot, and I’ll vote for the other candidate regardless of his or her views on the issues.

    I don’t know how a principled and patriotic American can do otherwise. Sadly, there are millions of voters who are neither, including you, I suspect.

    Why is that “funny” orange_and_buke? Do you find election deniers worthy of office?

    Yang hasn’t done much but complain since his 3rd party march started.

    True enough. I was simply opining. We'd have to blow up the entire system to get real change on this two party sh!t show we have now.

    Just got back from early voting. Voted for some of each party. Since I’m NPA that counts double.

    Since we are not a democracy, yes, that's true. See how many liberals would continue leg humping democracy after mob rule shut down every woke project in existence.

    The United States is, in fact, a democracy.

    Indirectly so.

    A direct democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner.

    A republic is when the sheep get veto power.

    Representative democracy = republic

    Won't watch but the title graphic is incorrect. There are two types of democracy; direct and representative.

    I have voted for candidates in different parties but some of the ones that I would vote for are in other states so no help there.

    The title graphic of the first "rando" that you posted is indeed wrong. At best, misleading. I've taught these concepts for forty years and College Board insists that students are able to explain the difference between direct and representative democracy as part of their curriculum.
