This year’s U.S. Super Tuesday felt more like Super Meh-sday. With Biden and Trump locked into a rematch voters didn’t ask for, political enthusiasm hit a new low. Here’s why America’s biggest primary day fell flat—and what it says about democracy fatigue. 🍿
Same Old, Same Old
Neither Biden (81) nor Trump (77) faced real competition, making the primaries feel like a rerun of 2020. Nikki Haley’s exit cleared Trump’s path, while Biden’s struggle with third-party spoilers like RFK Jr. left voters craving fresh options. As one Reuters poll put it: ‘We’re navigating the lesser of two evils.’ 🤷♂️
Voter Apathy Goes Viral
Nearly 1 in 5 voters say they might skip the election if it’s Biden vs. Trump. Michigan’s ‘uncommitted’ Democratic voters—13%—sent Biden a clear message: even his base isn’t fired up. Meanwhile, 44% of GOP voters last year didn’t want Trump back. Cue the ‘Why bother?’ memes. 😬
Third-Party Wildcards
With swing states like Arizona and Georgia on edge, even small protest votes could tip the scales. Think 2016 déjà vu—but with TikTok influencers dissecting the drama. 📱
Bottom line? America’s political drama is stuck on repeat—and viewers are tuning out. Stay tuned for November’s season finale… if anyone’s still watching. 📺🇺🇸
