The Dems need to convince the moderate, undecided voters permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] merc@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 years ago (1 child) Not at all. The Nazis would have voted for Trump regardless. But, there are a lot of biased people out there who wouldn't even think of themselves as racist or sexist, they'll just "have doubts". Unconscious bias is a major issue. Anybody right now who is undecided is not moderate. The moderates are all already voting against Trump. Anybody undecided is either a very-low-information voter, who mostly gets their news from TikTok or conspiracy forums, or they're a very right-wing voter who hates the democrats with a passion, but are having trouble getting over their dislike of Trump too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) I don't disagree with you, but let's not forget apathetic voters... people that were just disenchanted with both of the old guys and wouldn't vote for either.
