So it's probably safe to assume the undecided voters share a similar concern.Sean Hayden wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2024 8:36 amI hear you, but let’s think about it. The assumption—a good one— is that democrats will vote for Biden, they’ll vote for a potato before Trump. But what about the undecided voters? We don’t know why they vote the way they do or if they’ll even vote. Worse, they are undecided in an election with Trump, who is apparently the most polarizing figure in US politics in our lifetime. He’s certainly seen as the most dangerous by nearly half the country.pErvinalia wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2024 7:18 amThe undecided voters, I guess. And probably a bunch of Dem voters too.
Yet they are undecided.
These are the votes you’re going for. So, we have no idea why they vote the way they do, and nothing yet has convinced them in an election with Trump. But let’s replace Biden for them, and see what happens.
That’s gambling. It’s desperation. What reasons do we have to believe our replacement will suddenly satisfy these people? What unintended consequences might there be?

“I hear you, and I was in the same boat. But now that they’ve switched candidates I don’t know if I can trust the leadership. I mean Biden was old before, didn’t they know then? It looks like a mess to me, so I still don’t know who to vote for.”

They’re undecided.
They’re undecided during an election with Trump.
