MODERATORS
at this point, does anyone have a reliable idea of how many undecided voters there really are who could have an influence on the outcome of the election? or is it, at this point, for the Dems, simply about motivating non-voters to get off their asses and vote?
i just have a hard time imagining that there are very many people left who haven't already decided who they're voting for.
Hillary couldn't win using the "Trump is dangerous" platform, but she's absolutely been proven right. The question now is, do enough people care about something as existential as the end of democracy, or are they too focused on inflation and gas prices.
Hillary sucked ass and was given that opportunity over folks the public wanted more. Democrats absolutely shouldn't have "super" delegates.
That being said hopefully most reasonable folks know how dangerous the narcissistic orange fuck wit really is, he won Iowa but only got 51% of votes so I'm hoping he's a product of gross mass media and loses as badly as his criminal defense is in any case against him.
I'm definitely voting against bootleg Hitler regardless of who's running against him. Fuck the Orange vengeance thirst turd.
that was 8 years ago, and Bided did win using that strategy once already. and that's before he went completely off his nut and tried to overthrow the country using a mob of his insane, neo-nazi followers.
Democrats need to explain to people that these are the same thing. All this talk about Democracy just seems like Democrats worship a complex political system that barely helps people anyway. If the alternative is authoritarianism then people need to understand that prices don't stay low when the system is corrupted and that democracy is a vehicle for change not a static thing Dems want to preserve just because.
They aren’t very focused on inflation and gas prices if that is their excuse. Both are way down over the late 6+ months.
I did see this: https://thehill.com/elections/4408071-almost-half-of-haley-supporters-say-they-would-vote-for-biden-over-trump-iowa-poll/amp/ saying that a sizable portion of Haley’s voter base would go for Biden over Trump in a general so I imagine part of the strategy is driving the point home for as many of the “moderate” republicans as possible.
