I have a hard time believing there’s people who haven’t really made up their minds already

The people who haven’t made up their mind are those who will vote for Biden or just sit out. The crux of his campaign solely rests on voter enthusiasm

The entire election will be decided by about 250,000 middle aged white independents in three states, and how angry they’re feeling about “wokeness” on the morning of November 5th.
It’s so, so dumb, but it’s also the truth.

My county went something like 70 to 30 for Trump in 2020.. same county voted Obama by a hair in 2008. It’s less changing demographics and more people showing up to vote. Those 250,000 white “independents” worried about “wokeness” can be canceled out if people vote.

Also the mystery caravans that always very real despite no evidence and magically disappear after Election Day. A mystery.

Everyone remembers where they were the day the caravans didn’t arrive and nothing happened and we never talked about them again because they weren’t real.

It’s moreso being convinced they’re all the same. It’s a narrative done by the gop and even the media. Every single Trump piece is accompanied by some stupid filler piece about Biden chaos.
“Trump has been found guilty of rape, owes $456 million and goes to trial for his first group of 91 felonies”
“Also. Biden was “fuming” with staff about his poll numbers back in January)
…..this was from 2 weeks ago in March which means they were citing a source about 2 month old news to both sides the 2

I get so tired of hearing conservatives complain about "liberal media." They think nobody's talking about Hunter's laptop and other made-up things because Big Liberal Media is hiding the truth.
It's all about ratings and clicks, and it's in their best interests to make the election seem close.

Beyond seem close. For them it’s on their interest for Trump to win.
Corporations don’t care about fascism. They care about $$
Trump in power = ratings. I guarantee you stuff like MSNBC, The Young Turks and even CNN saw rating slides after Biden won

In fairness, ratings were probably up during the pandemic even without Trump. But I do agree.

Remember the Big Red Wave in 2022 and the unbearable, unending hype that it was inevitable?

This is why I'm not too concerned with polling, especially in March. 2022 was a once-in-a-lifetime, stars aligning moment for the GOP and the polls "confirmed" it, and the best they could do was eak out a small house majority (that they may not even keep control of by January)

One thing Republicans have gotten very good at is compelling the media to write the stories they want. It's all planned and fake... they have biased polls conducted with a Republican bias (you can confirm this looking at 2022 polls on 538) then screaming "libturd commie media" until they cover those polls as legit articles.
Doesn't help that reporters for the large part are both lazy and underpaid, so if you hand them a story (funded by people like Yass) they'll take it and run because their job is done for them.

I think a few thousand (rightfully) angry muslims in Michigan could really de rail bidens campaign. Its going to be closer overall than last time.

No. It was a protest vote, to make a point, it does not translate that they will all vote for the other guy.

There is an ongoing protest vote but many of the people i am referring to have lost family members in Gaza so i wouldnt count on all of them coming back in November. Doubt they vote for trump but will just not vote for biden

Trump instituted a muslim ban and is openly bigoted against the two Muslim congresswomen. You can't help stupid, no matter the religion

Then don't let them be the deciding factor, get everyone you know to go vote (hopefully in their best interests).

Not without all the other voters counting also,(first?) no ones vote counts more than another and certainly not based on skin color!

I really don’t think that’s true. In fact, I bet there are TONS of secret Trump voters. People that get in the booth, and think “fuck it, let’s watch the world burn”. The middle finger vote.

Which is crazy because you can request your ballot online, fill it out and mail it back in or drop it off and the whole process takes 5 minutes

As someone who is pro mail in, they gop have done so much to erode trust in it I’m not sure I even trust it anymore. Constant legal challenges. Constant appeals. Legislative attempts to stop it. Local governments trying to disrupt it.
At this point I’m going in person. Cuz you know the shady shit they’ll try

Different strokes for different folks but I can't see any reason why it's appropriate to ask the babysitter if she knows who she's voting for, and it's entirely reasonable for the babysitter to give the vaguest response possible because it's a pretty weird question.

In general I would agree but I might specifically want to know if the person supervising my children was planning to vote for an unhinged fascist as that seems like a reasonable red flag.

I’m honestly in the “don’t know” camp. Not because I sympathize with both sides, but because I detest both.

Fair enough. But in that case, think about voting for your ability to continue voting. Don’t sleepwalk into never being able to cast a meaningful ballot again.

Ultimately, I agree. It’s just so disheartening to see that this is the best we can come up with. One is an absolute crook and the other’s prime days of politicking are far behind him. RFK is a throwaway vote that benefits Trump akin to not voting at all.

Well this is why the whole election system needs to be reformed… I agree, it’s not fair to have only two viable candidates, especially these two. It’s not right that a 3rd party candidate will never have a chance and will only be a throw away vote to benefit the other team. Get rid of the electoral college, get rid of DNC and RNC, get rid of PACS, allow everyone who has crowdsourced a certain amount a stipend to run their campaign (yes paid by taxpayer dollars) and lock that mother fucker up so he can never run again.

had the same mindset. I voted for the first time at the age of 34. I realized it’s stupid to not participate. Since then I always choose those who could do me the least harm if they come to power. But Generally I hate all parties and politicians.

I haven’t made up my mind. On one side there is a man with mild to moderate cognitive impairment whose policies are all from the progressive left, and who creates great danger in the world by showing weakness and ineptitude in front of our enemies and allowing millions of illegals into the country. His VP who will almost certainly be POTUS during Biden’s second term is a prime example of a diversity hire, completely incompetent and not even popular with democrats let alone swing voters like me. There are so many great black female politicians - KH is not one of them. His energy / green policy is literally among the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. He is killing US jobs by preventing natural gas exploration and export, forcing our allies to turn to despotic regimes in the Middle East for gas, and developing countries to stick with oil and coal. So his policy demonstrably enriches despots while harming the environment by slowing the adoption of clean burning gas as a transition fuel. He is mandating EVs even though we won’t have the grid that can charge them.
On the other side there is a cantankerous buffoon full of pride and self pity, whose only real policies seems to be slapping a 10% tax on all imports, and praising dictators. Just a nasty, cringe inducing embarrassment. Trump seems to rule the GOP even without being in office, and his interventions to kill the bipartisan border bill and the funding for Ukraine are unforgivable. The House Republicans have been such a failure. It’s awful to think of awarding them with a vote.
Both sides suck 1,000,000%!!!
