I’ve decided undecided voters have low critical thinking skills and/or are attention seekers

    I know that there are a number of people who simply don’t pay attention and suddenly realize that they have no idea what’s going on when election time comes around. THEY are the undecided voters.

    What you see in the media, however, does not convince me that they are genuinely undecided. I believe that a lot of people claim it for the attention they get. Then we have examples of people pretending even though they are actually part of someone’s campaign.

      I find it hard to believe in these circumstances there are truly undecided. trump was president for four years and there was so much crazy. If someone saw and agree if it was crazy I can’t see them voting for him and if someone did not see or did not agree it was crazy then I think its likely they will vote for him.

    Undecided to being a racist nazi you mean. I don’t see how a true republican can support such a divisive felony candidate.

    I cannot understand these wishy-washy, fencing idiots. Do they live in caves? Not just any caves either, But the one Plato talks about? Seriously WTF is wrong with these people. If you don’t know what Trump stands for after all of these years, and can’t understand what Harris is about, then you seriously should just smack yourself in the face with a cast iron skillet - repeatedly - until either you smash the stupid out of yourself or fall into a coma. I honestly don’t care which.

      That’s essentially what I told my wife last night. If you’re undecided and watched the debate and still are undecided, just admit you’re a Trump voter.

        Right, they gray area is so small, it’s practically just a blend line for the huge expanse of black and white on the table for this election.

    I swear, you could have Hitler reincarnate with Himmler as vice president looking exactly the same as how they looked like in WW2 and use the exact same rhetoric, and the current undecided voters would still be equally clueless on who to vote for, assuming they’re actually undecided and not “closeted conservative voter who doesn’t want to look bad”.

    Undecided voters don’t matter in this election. There’s so few of them, and most of them are just people who are too scared to say they support Trump.

    This election will be decided by turnout.

    If you saw that debate and came out with, “Hmm, but which one should I vote for?”, just say you’re voting for Trump. Say that shit with your chest, loud and proud. I wanna know what places to avoid.

    If they took a look at Trump they’d realize he’s a blatant liar and insurrectionist scumbag

    I’ve never understood how some 70 million Americans watched Trump speak and said “aaah, THIS is my president”. You have to have some mental disability to actually choose this dude. Or you’re just an evil asshole who wants personal gains.

      My best guess is they’re a combination of rich people, racist people, and religious people with plenty of overlap between groups.

      Considering I was seriously interested in how the debate would go and had to turn it off only half way through, I think it’s highly likely that 70 million Americans waited for Fox to feed them the Cliff’s Notes version.

    Jesus. That Andrew Wallace guy is a dumb motherfucker lol.

    To see that lump of shit Trump laid on the stage last night and go “Yeah, I’m a Democrat and all, but that’s my guy right there!!”

    That dude is a republican just like that last asshole that conned his way into CNNs “undecided voters” bullshit.

    Holy hell those three people are infuriating.

    “Yeah, he’s a racist and a bigot, but my pocketbook…” Lady, unless you make enough that it doesn’t matter, he’s not going to help your pocketbook.

      I guarantee that woman has been registered R her entire life, sees why he is problematic on a very superficial level, and is still going to AT BEST abstain from voting but more likely vote for him anyhow.

        Lynne Kelleher, a registered Republican who voted for Trump in 2016 and for the libertarian candidate in 2020, believes this election comes down to a choice: “Do you vote your pocketbook or do you vote your morals?”

        Pretty much.

          Not at all. Projections from people who know indicate that the economy would do better under Harris, and I don’t think there’s anyone who could credibly argue that Trump is the more moral candidate.

      The biggest miss at the debate was Harris not reminding everyone how Trump was bullying the fed chair on Twitter when everyone said it was time to start raising interest rates.

      In general, the distinction between populism and technocracy needs to be front and center. This is a very easy example.

      The younger woman absolutely was not. The third guy seemed like a toss up for me. I would bet he self-identities as “libertarian”.

        If you are openly struggling to decide between Trump and Harris, I’d personally assume you are a closet racist at the least. But maybe these people have just been exposed to Trump and his campaign or got in the wrong crowd a bit, maybe they are now struggling to leave that camp but want to. Who knows.

          So, having actually watched the interviews with these people, I’m pretty comfortable saying the younger woman is not a Trump supporter. She seemed to maybe not be the most intelligent person, but that’s not a super fair assessment from a few brief Q&As. She was becoming visibly upset by some of his rhetoric, abortion related in particular.

          I also wouldn’t be surprised if they were led to an answer of “we’re still undecided” by the interviewers in conclusion to broadcast a non-partisan appearance.

    Only way you could be undecided is if you are lying about supporting Trump because you are ashamed to be associated with his name.
