President Biden on Monday night issued a plea for supporters to donate to his campaign in the wake of former President Trump’s victory in Iowa.

“Looks like Donald Trump just won Iowa. He’s the clear front runner on the other side at this point,” Biden wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“But here’s the thing: this election was always going to be you and me vs. extreme MAGA Republicans. It was true yesterday and it’ll be true tomorrow,” Biden added, posting a link to a fundraising page.

We need a serious 3rd party candidate to step forward. I’m tired of have to choose the least bad candidate.

We can’t have a third party that is viable while we have first past the post voting. We need election reform to include new voting procedures like ranked choice voting or something similar along with the elimination of gerrymandering.

This is America. A 3rd candidate would just be the lesser of 3 evils.

Gotta dismantle the PACs and backroom deals that made the GOP and the Dems the most popular parties over a period of 150 years.
