The media never captures how voters are exactly this fickle. My Asian mom voted for Trump both times but shared Michelle Obama's speeches to all her friends and said she wished Michelle ran. (hexbear.net)

Swing voters will sway democratic this election.

i dont think you should treat this statement as 100% true, from what i have learn swing voters are centrists who while they like to act that they care about policy and stuff they only really care about which candidate looks the strongest/coolest, its good biden dropped because he looks frail and with dementia, but the dems will still have to get someone that at least can clap back at trump or look ok or his strategy of "unifying" the country by getting a Never trump republican as VP with give him the small lead he needs to win.

i dont think either base will decide the election

Swing voters... want to gamble that they are voting for the "winning" candidate and get more satisfaction from this than from any potential policies the winning administration might implement.
