here is the thing about undecided voters:
think of the weirdest person you know, someone whose thought process you cannot comprehend in the slightest
now think of the weirdest person they know
that is the median undecided voter
My way of seeing it, saying "the median" voter is misleading because America has a longstanding problem with comparatively low election turnouts.
When you think of the median *potential* voter and why some vote and some don't, it starts to make more sense.
the average undecided voter is not the hypothetical "concerned independent " pundits like to talk about. It's people who didn't know trump was running until they saw the debate, or people who don't normally care but now are being directly hurt by current republican policies.
This group,me being related to many,however, a large number are undecided due to rarely being spoken to directly (rather than just about) by either party. The GOP has picked up on that and gained some of their votes by targeted manipulation,esp in Florida most of whom still picked Biden,but by less.
Is it not somehow at the end of the day with all the hoopla on all spectrums of media, the pandering for the undecided, just still minority rule?
The thin aggregate of weirdo undecideds are choosing.
It’s a very engineered dynamic that I think all parties & nations work in achieving two balanced ideologies
To their core voters
We are the only values worth voting for
To the undecided voters
You know how broken this system is, it’s really not worth voting at all!
So core decides government
My least favorite type of political reporting is the undecided voter interview. They always say the dumbest shit like they've been living in a cave for the past decade. It's insane that anyone could be undecided on such a stark contrast where both candidates have done the job for 4 years already.
I've given myself a pep talk. I don't know any Trump voters. I live in the bluest neighborhood of a very blue state. We have given a bit of money to a fantastic Dem, Janelle Bynum OR 5th hoping to flip a seat. That's what I can do.
Just delighted that questions like “will we have a department of education?” are going to be decided by a bunch of Midwestern and/or Sun Belt morons who pay zero attention to anything and will make a gut decision vote on who they like better as a dude in October
I saw her the other day. (The undecided voter.) Lady was ranting completely idiosyncratically and incoherently at a friend about politics in general, but in the end everything came down to how the state of CA failed her disabled child and for this she blames Democrats and hence she's a Republican.
