The election choices in the last two (and one future) elections: 2016 - Two candidates who were deeply flawed, none of whom I had confidence in. 2020 - Someone who I was a bit concerned with if he won the election, versus someone who I was very concerned about if he won the election. 2024 -

[@Danny-xm1pe]

Well, you will be disappointed because 2024 is going to most likely be a repeat of either 2016 or 2020 in terms of candidates with the way things are going. If it is a repeat of the 2016 candidates, the result will be the same as that year. If it is a repeat of the 2020 candidates, the result will be the opposite of that year.
