When will you start dealing with the 2024 US elections?

#Poll #EvanPoll

  • Ugh, fine, now I guess (32%, 64 votes)
  • Jan 2024 (20%, 41 votes)
  • Summer 2024 (28%, 56 votes)
  • Election Day, maybe (18%, 36 votes)
197 voters. Poll end: 1 year ago

It'll get really interesting when I start seeing more openly available alerts from the Homeland Security Digital Library about it as well as more open alerts from the various ISAC groups.
The better question is when will I even be emotionally available to answer a poll concerning the 2024 US elections.
In Philly the 2023 elections will be very interesting / hair-raising. We're electing a new mayor, but the local law requires officials to leave office in order to run for office (no, it doesn't entirely make sense), so a bunch of vacancies in City Council etc. have also appeared. There will be a lot of turnover in Philly politics. If we fight very hard, maybe the change will be for the better.

So Jan 2024, once the city races in 2023 are over.
What do you mean by dealing?
@admin good question! What do you think "dealing with" means here?
Well, I wake up every morning and read electoral-vote.com as I'm taking my morning shit from a cheap tablet I Velcored to the wall, then read Seattle Times and WaPo before I head on to Wonkette. So I guess I'm engaged constantly with the political news. So I guess I'm constantly engaged. The only thing I'll have to deal with is if Biden doesn't run, then it will be a shitfest.
I'm in the PNW so all my reps will be Dems. So I'm not sure what I need to deal with except for the popcorn
I have not voted for any presidential candidate in the past 20 years because my vote never matters or counts. Until one person equals one vote I am not going to participate in that charade.

Look up what George Carlin has to say about politicians...
My vote (had the option been there) would obviously be "Doesn't affect me" (I'm Indonesian) ☮️
No option for “have been for quite some time” 😅
Faces will appear in an obscene way in timelines and tv. So I'll become aware.
not much point me worrying about them really. It affects us all but I can’t do anything about it, so 🤷🏻‍♀️
as late and as little as possible, but as a Canadian it will affect us enough that I'll have to at least try to effect a favourable outcome by engaging with people.
I'm still dealing with 2016
Nothing is going to happen in the next twenty months to change my mind.
@Csosorchid but what if somebody eats a hot dog in a dumb weird way at the Iowa State Fair?!?!
@JR
That would be a corn dog. A battered hot dog fried and served on a stick….. so what would unweird look like?
anyway things are getting existential here. I live in Florida and the Governor is taking a shot at being a dictator. An elected prosecutor was unconstitutional removed from office because he called BS on abortion policy, and no one is going to put him back in office. Two or three members of the Broward County School Board were replaced on pretexts, giving DeSantis control over one of the largest school districts in the USA. Where will we flee….
I remember a time when campaigning wasn’t a never-ending thing… it seems like since the last guy liked campaigning more than the actual job, the mentality changed like a switch and that campaigns must run 24/7/365. Honestly, the signal-to-noise ratio is 0:1 to me now. It’s all noise and no signal.
I guess it depends on your definition of "dealing with." If that means having "news" about them shoved into your face daily, then I'm already dealing with them. If it means deciding how to vote, then it will be after seeing what the choices are in the end, which ones will be the least damaging.
This is interesting. Not a lot of engagement. I guess that's as much a vote as the rest!

I went to a Vote From Abroad event this week, so I guess I'm Ugh now.
I only need to tune in when it's time for the primaries and the general election, and I'm going to base my vote on the candidates' real track records not their empty campaign promises in televised events. Otherwise I'm just going to be maximally anxious for the entire time with no additional increase of net democracy.
It's possible that those who didn't engaged with the poll where just not in the US? At least that's my case; didn't wanted to give my opinion on this 😀
Beginning the campaign season now serves no useful purpose. That includes the incessant polling that news orgs and pundits are constantly foisting on us. Government / governance is not a frigging horse race. Polling is not a substitute for policy debate.
🔘 many usanians would prefer that i don't interfere 😇.
