2. I don't think many independents are "for" Chump, but they're often "against" something else

Sometimes they think they're against our Democratic candidates, if they've been told not to like somebody. An example of that is (sorry to bring this up) "What about her emails?" But just as often it could be an idea that they're against. For example: don't tell me I have to wear a facemask, I don't need to get vaccinated, etc.

Independent voters have shown that they can be swayed easily, when the conditions are ripe. Things like nasty memes on social media can be enough to convince those fickle voters, "Oh I don't like that person," when in fact the memes are mostly lies. The persecution of Hunter Biden is a perfect example. Meanwhile Uday and Qusay are fashioning a whole new definition for the word "corruption" right out in the open, and nobody blinks an eye.

But WE NEED THOSE INDIE VOTES to help us defeat Chump's party for good and forever. It's hard for Democrats to understand this, but the independent voters will make the difference almost every time. If we can't get them on our side, we won't win.
