Not if you live in America, you can write in your vote for anyone you want. But it’s America so the two major parties each nominate one person and then most people choose between those two people and usually one becomes president. Donald Trump and Joe Biden are the current likely nominees from the two major parties. Some people do the write in thing and usually the person they write in is not elected president. It’s not a great system but that’s the one in America for the 2024 election.
Exactly! Sorry I used the word likely instead of presumptive. As for the other parties, people can vote for their candidates too but like the write ins, they usually don’t win.
It basically comes down to: voting independent = voting republican. I’m not saying that’s always the case, but it seems to be the trend that voting outside the two major parties is stealing votes from the democrats
It’s legitimately idiotic to vote for someone who isn’t the candidate for the two parties with the way the system is set up, so only idiotic people do it.
I’d say it’s idiotic to support the two party system. People in other countries have managed to setup different systems, so its absolutely possible to do things differently than we currently do.

Presumptive nominees. And theres other parties that will be listed in the general election.

Sorry, had to make that a bit more accurate. For all those wondering how futile voting for anything other than the two major parties is, these are the ones that did the best https://www.thoughtco.com/most-successful-independent-presidential-candidates-3367561

It doesn’t matter how many other names are listed.
There’s no possibility anyone who’s not the Republican or Democrat candidate wins. It can’t happen.
Its a self fulfilling prophecy.
It’s how the system is set up.
