    “I don’t think Biden has done much as a president. And if Trump gets elected, I just feel like it’s going to be the same thing as it was before Biden got elected,” said poll respondent Devin Fletcher, 37, of Wayne, Michigan, a Democrat who said he’s still voting for Biden.

    “I just don’t feel like I have a candidate that I’m excited to vote for,” Fletcher added.

    Another poll respondent from New Jersey, who declined to provide her name and voted for Biden in 2020, said she wouldn’t be voting in November.

    "Our candidates are horrible. I have no interest in voting for Biden. He did nothing. And I absolutely will not vote for Trump,” this voter said.

        I don’t understand the logic behind not voting. It’s not the same as voting uncommitted in a primary, which at least gets counted as a voter having an opinion about a candidate. Not voting isn’t registered as anything aside from low turnout, maybe? And possibly increases your chances of being removed from the voter registry.

          I’m leaning voting third party which is way better than not voting at all. At least it will increase numbers and show people are fed up with the two party system.

            Why not advocate for another election system that will make third parties viable? Basically then, your vote should be towards preserving and improving our democracy.

              What better wait to advocate than to practice the idea that third parties are viable candidates by voting for them.
