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

    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.

        You’re right.

        Edit: I’m agreeing with Thunder, not Lynne.

          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.

            Sorry, I meant pretty much to ThunderWhiskers’ comment about her being a Republican that realizes how problematic Trump is.

      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.

        I highly doubt most voters even know what the fed does, let alone that theyre supposed to be independent.
