2024 Election: The Trump Biden Rematch. THIS is The Best We Can Do?

The betting odds say a Trump vs Biden rematch is probable. That’s sad, since polls also show most Americans don’t like either man.

[@drlca6601]

America had a great, eloquent, compassionate, intellectual leader who was going to change the world. Then he was assassinated. Trump may be the opposite of those things, but he is the first president since Raegan that actually makes people feel something. I'm not a supporter of Trump, but I can see his economic and diplomatic successes from a mile away. More important than those two things, however, by far and away is his stance on China and his willingness to stand up to their economic underhandedness. Furthermore, on a different, more domestic note, his 1776 initiative was going to do wonders for the education system if it was properly implemented, but it was sadly scrapped by the Dems, for obvious reasons.

Biden is the most popular president in American history, no one has ever had as many votes, Obama didn’t even come close to the level of popularity Biden has, neither in number of votes nor in the proportion of the vote--he got more votes than JFK and Nixon combined. As a percentage of the vote it’s the highest number of votes in 120 years. He won in the Republican strongholds of Arizona and Georgia. Even though Trump won almost every state when counting the in-person votes, winning Hawaii with 71% and even winning in Delaware, Biden was so popular that he was able to overcome that by getting 80% of all the mail-in ballots across the nation; in 2016 the number of in-person ballots and mail-in ballots were roughly the same for each candidate, it just goes to show how popular Biden is among the American population, despite the fact that he has the lowest approval ratings of any president in history. After such a clear and striking victory, getting 81 million votes, it’s clear that the country is unified behind Biden.

I choose not to impose a leader onto someone who would prefer to be led by someone else, or who would choose not to be led at all. I think it's a highly immoral thing to do. Therefore, I choose not to vote.

Is it a ‘democracy’ or even a representative republic’ when elected officials have like a 20% approval rating but an 80% re-election rate? The numbers just don’t add up…

[@nikdrown]

Because the indoctrination is so real that people hate Trump so much they can’t even see how actually terrible Biden is. The ability to have done as much damage to the sleeping masses and then their “hero” comes along to give 4 good years and then poof back to shit? People don’t even realize the psychopaths are and have always been running the world

[@SteveVLee]

Fraud is the only reason most of them are still there. That's why term limits won't work. The cartels just replace one criminal with another.

[@zubrickadvisors6742]

But that is just confirmation of the 80-20 rule. 80% of the electorate is just plain stupid beyond belief. I mean, literally no brains and do whatever they are told to do. I would venture it is even more than the 80.

I agree, is this the best we have? Corrupt politicians for President? Really? On the other hand, name me a politician that isn’t corrupt, because I don’t know of any. We have all heard, vote for the lesser of the two evils. We should change that to vote for the least corrupt. I think that is far more fitting these days.

[@neuromancer9k]

Ah, the end result of 50+ years of choosing the lesser of two evils. It's on the voter to stop supporting this....but as whole we will not. And John, I think you need to cover ballot access laws next - they aren't the only cause of this problem, but they certainly aren't helping.

Nah, it's the end result of letting people other than White men of good moral character who own property vote.

For once I agree with Stossel 100%. America should be embarrassed it only has two parties and two terrible choices.

[@WinginWolf]

That's because AMERICANS aren't the ones who pick their choices. At the same time, a lot of people just go with name recognition and don't look at other rising candidates with new, good ideas.

Stossel doesn't like "mean" people. Some of my most dependable friends are "mean". They smacktalk, insult and tell fish stories like we don't all know an exaggeration when we hear it. The classified documents were another example of unjust application of the law. Biden had documents from before it was legal for him to take them. The scrutiny and time-line enforced against Trump were completely arbitrary or Biden would be guilty 10fold. I'd rather have a leader who isn't afraid to hurt feelings than one that uses his position and family to profit himself over the best interests of the country.

Who’s for secure borders, oil & gas self sufficiency, an end to support of pointless wars, and America first policies? I’m for that candidate. Trump✔️

[@markceci9896]

Stossel really had a hard time equating the two as bad choices. Used the same media biased claims about Trump to make a poor case. He is a media clown, too.

[@petethomas6647]

You need to look no further than Vivek Ramiswamy. He is America first, for sure.

[@6piecechickenmcnuggets23]

I. Secure Borders If you really look in the border policies of different presidents you’ll find nobody actually wants “open border.” The main thing that makes Trump different from the others is that Trump talks about building “the Wall,” which isn’t practical at all. II. Oil and gas sufficiency If anything, the US should move away from using oil and gas as energy sources. They’re not sustainable in the long run. Not to mention how bad oil spills are for the environment. III. End of Pointless Wars Honestly, what do you think Trump would do to end any war? I also wonder what wars do Trump supporters consider “pointless.” IV. America First Policies So what? Every country puts their interests first in policies. V. Conclusion These are bad reasons to vote for anyone and don’t vote for Trump. Please look at the third party candidates and not just the Republicans and Democrats.

[@mikebergman1817]

@@petethomas6647 So you think a Soros backed candidate is America first, and not a controlled op plant?

[@markceci9896]

@6piecechickenmcnuggets23 Listen to Vivek. He is Trump with more "class" and polish. There is no magical way to go electric without Nuclear power plants. Wind farms and solar panels won't cut it. All policies related to the "green" initiatives are lunacy. A wall or well designed barrier does work. It needs completion. Trump did not start any war. Biden did by pulling Ukrain towards NATO. Now we face WW3. Wake up.
