Sam did bear the weight of the ring, its hard to convey in the movie but the book makes it clear. Sam just had an iron will.
AND he hadn’t already been carrying the ring the whole fucking way like Frodo did!
It’s both an iron will and a life goal that isn’t really susceptible to corruption. The ring takes the thing you want most and connects itself to that in your mind, twisting your goals to accomplish what it wants.
I’m not really certain what value being temporarily invisible has when all you want to do is garden. Hell, I don’t even think a giant army or conquering the whole world would help either. Just means a more overwhelming garden, which defeats the point.
I mean that’s the reason Hobbits in general can withstand the Ring longer than any other race of Middle Earth. They just want a quiet life without any fuss and that’s pretty much the opposite of what the Ring can promise them.
Ring: I can make you rich!
Hobbit: Eh, than my cousins will pester me all day.
Ring: I can make you strong!
Hobbit: What for? I have an ox for that.
Ring: I can make you king of all!
Hobbit: That’s even worse than rich!
Ring: Exasperated sigh
Ring: Fine! I can give you third breakfast!
But I’m busy eating elevenses right now! Maybe we can have third breakfast tomorrow?
He was really just sick and fucking tired of the Lembas bread that much.
Really the whole story of Sam could be boiled down to drive of a man who really wanted to get back to a life of a good women and great food.
Great food = potatoes
Humble but great
Mushrooms, really.

Needed more pipeweed to get through it.
Sam is the main character in the book
So instead of sending Sam, the whole Shire should have taken the trio together and just passed the ring back and forth amongst like 10 people?
All you have to do is read the first book to realize why that wouldn’t work.
