I don't begrudge anyone their reactions, but the people who are panicking tonight because they are deeply invested in the outcome of the presidential race are not the people who still haven't made up their minds who to vote for—and I don't think we can presume that undecided voters think like us

I feel like we talk about "the undecided voter" in the wrong way, because it implies the vast majority of people in America vote and that is historically not true. There are a lot of *potential* undecided voters and the goal is to push them to make their vote.

The number of actually undecided voters is tiny. The real question is how many will turn out to vote for the Biden we saw tonight. Which will affect downballot too.

I don't think we can presume that undecided voters think at all. They're all about the feels.

Elections are mostly discussed by people who spend far too much time thinking about politics. Elections are mostly decided by people who spend far too little time thinking about politics.

We’re freaking out because we know undecideds will not want to vote for Biden if they watched him last night. He looked like he had fucking dementia. Biden needs to step aside. I love him. He’s great, but he needs to retire.

By contrast: people are who deeply invested in this race by and large have zero understanding of how less invested and engaged voters approach it. It's a big problem with political discourse on the whole.

Josh, the first call on cspan after the debate was an undecided voter from NY who said he “just wants more decorum from both candidates” and all I have to say is it was nice to get some clarity as to what’s going on inside those undecided minds. And yeah, not similar to us at all!

If someone's undecided at this point, I think we can very safely say they don't think anything like us. Not saying that's a bad thing per se, though I do find it mystifying. But that's kinda the point!

Didn’t watch because 1. Blood pressure. 2. Liars gonna lie and lie and lie. 2a. “Moderators” will not moderate.
3. Press will ignore lies, refuse to fact check, and waffle on about old.

I cannot imagine being undecided. Like, they have both been president. We KNOW.
