...are they more stupid than people resolutely committed to voting for Trump?
I suppose some committed Trump voters are smarter, they're just nasty people with twisted values. But the rest? They make the undecideds look like geniuses.

Like the time I had to choose swimming in shark infested waters and getting a tattoo. I was like: how many sharks are there really? Won't the tattoo hurt?

(9,500 posts)1) Those people that for whatever reason don't pay attention to politics
2) Those "shy" Republicans that know Trump is a bag of garbage but don't want to admit they are voting for him because they are closet racists.
3) Those that don't like both Republicans and Democrats.

(15,751 posts)Newsweek gave the U.S. Citizenship Test to 1,000 Americans, for some reason (boredom?), and 38 percent failed. Twenty-nine percent couldn't even name the vice president! (Is it Jeff something? Or Josh?) How should we react?

(1,660 posts)...but how is anyone still "undecided" at this point? What more are they looking for?
Seems to me the alleged undecideds are either:
a) actually decided, but is looking for an excuse to change his/her mind, or
b) looking for attention.
The former is actually a legit place to be upon further review, even now.
The latter? Yikes. Why??

(15,271 posts)It's not just pundits who do both-siderism. Plenty of American voters do it too.
No matter how awful Trump clearly appears, and such people will admit they see Trump's awfulness, they will automatically say to themselves, "Well, Biden seems much nicer, much more competent, more honest, etc., but I just KNOW that Republicans and Democrats are just as bad as each other, so Biden must simply be doing a better job of hiding how awful he is."

(2,227 posts)If they were for Biden, they would say so, proudly.
They are ashamed to say they are for the turd, so they cop "undecided". Not to mention the attention they are getting... 15 seconds is 15 seconds. I'm sure they are taping every second they are on screen and will be showing it to anyone and everyone they can trap in a room, for YEARS.
This will, more than likely, be THE highlight of their life. Sad. Bigly.

(490 posts)I think the fact that there are far fewer undecided voters this time around is telling, but you could have Mecha Space Hitler vs Jesus Christ and 3-5% would have a tough time deciding.

There are no hairs to split in this election. Ones choice, whatever it may be, should be obvious.
