Undecided or Independent, my ass.

Sure, some of the "undecided" folks are just attention seekers trying to disguise themselves as critical thinkers, but given the state of America's political environment with Republicans labeling anything moderate as "wokeism," I just assume that when someone says they are "undecided" or "independent," they will be voting republican or not voting at all.

Same-same when someone starts spouting "both sides" bullsh*t.

If they are undecided at this point then they were never very undecided.

Most of these people haven't really been paying much attention to policy but they are swayed by the political gamesmanship and the media's narrative of "Dems in Disarray" or "why don't the Dems do a better job campaigning."

My brother for years identified as "libertarian" and would offer his novel view of climate change - that it was real, but not caused by humans. So lame!

You are either an American who wants to see democracy continue, or you’re not! There is no inbetween
