America is voting for two leaders they don't want

All the polls say that most American people do NOT want a rerun of the 2020 presidential election. So they don't want to vote for either Joe Biden or Donald Trump but that is exactly what they are doing at every primary and caucus. Biden and Trump have just won big time in the Super Tuesday elections. It's one of the extraordinary contradictions of the 2024 presidential election but that's the political system in the US. No one else, not even the ever-determined Nikki Haley, stands a realistic chance. Haley only won one primary this time (Vermont) to add to her first the other day (Washington DC) and will have no choice but to step down. So it's Biden and Trump all the way to November unless something dramatic happens of course. The border issue is such a mess that Trump could win the election just on his pledge to close it on day one. A conviction and jail sentence now are the only things standing in the way of a Trump victory. Biden must be praying every night for the Gods of Justice to act to prevent Trump from taking the White House away from him. As for Trump, he probably believes that even if he is convicted of a criminal charge he will be able to persuade his loyal supporters that it's all a Democratic plot and they will keep voting for him. It certainly looks that way at the moment.
