        The undecided by a mile. Trump’s cult can at least be somewhat explained away by brainwashing, lack of education and echo chambers - and maybe a side dish of widespread lead poisoning. But people who’ve been exposed to this shit for nearly a decade without becoming cultists, yet are still going “ehhh, I haven’t seen enough yet to make up my mind here…” truly boggle my mind.

        You can be smart and evil, but at this point it’s pretty hard to be a conscious human engaged in society and not have an opinion either way.

      This right here. I find myself wondering if these people even exist. I legitimately do not understand how someone can look at these two candidates (plus the US two-party system, which for better or worse is. a. thing.) and say they’re undecided.

      It’s like offering someone a choice between a piece of moldy lettuce and a fresh salad for lunch. These people: “Hm, I’m not really sure. I need more time to get the facts, and as bad as the moldy lettuce looks, are we absolutely sure that salad is really a salad?”

      I understand undecided by being hesitant about Harris, especially Republicans who for years have voted for party because that’s what you’re told to do. I can’t see anyone flipping from diehard Trump to Harris, that ship sailed a long time ago. Then there’s the undecided who have been apathetic about voting in general for good reasons, which is probably a large part of the group. We have a lot of people in this country who could vote but never do.

        And in a similar vein, there are a good number of republican voters who dislike Trump, so all Kamala has to do is make them think that she’s not so bad that it would motivate them to vote against her. If would-be Trump voters stay home instead of voting then that improves her chances of winning by 0.5 per vote of theirs
