I lost the link to the story in today's Minneapolis Star Tribune about undecided voters. Its basic thesis is that the dwindling number of undecided voters are people who lean Republican but who fear what Mr. Biden might do and who strongly dislike Mr. Trump's style. Some of those interviewed said they voted for HRC in 2016 but feared Mr. Biden's policies on taxes or guns.

So, these people are balancing their distaste for Mr. Trump with their fear of what might happen under a Biden Presidency.

:confused: They're... worried that he will passionately protect their gun rights?

No, they feel he will "take their guns away". It was clear to me that their fears were driven by misinformation or ignorance rather than Biden's history or statements.
 
This may be an oversimplification of something that in reality is more nuanced than this, but I'm about at the point where I think that if you TRULY are "undecided" at this point, in 2020, you're so stupid your vote shouldn't count anyway. If you genuinely can't pick a lane in this one, while you've both seen what's been going on since 2016 and you have two functional brain cells to rub together, you should just sit in the back seat and moo at cows or whatever, while the adults drive the car.
 
Washington Post also had an article about undecideds today. A consultant remarked that many of them are Sanders supporters who are “trying to pretend as though they’re deliberative rather than idiots”.
 
I was also reading an opinion piece on undecided voters. The author likened the undecideds to airline passengers, who during food service, are offered a choice of chicken or a pike of broken glass and ask how the chicken was prepared.
 
100% (actually server slowed and accidental double post - but still, 50 + 50, baby!)
 
Yes, if you are a greedy, rich, top 0.50 percent-er I don't blame you for wanting to vote for Trump. Your taxes will likely go up under Biden.

But really... Boo Hoo... It's just too bad that you won't be able to afford that 2nd solid gold hot tub for your summer house's sex grotto. You'll just have to live with a new platinum plated water slide instead.
 
Choose the BLUE Stampede or the RED Stampede.

What does the term "undecided voter" mean?

Or better: What about voters who have decided definitely that they will not vote for either the Buffoon Demagogue Biden OR the Buffoon Demagogue Trump?

These might be DECIDED that they will leave it blank, or they are DECIDED that they will vote for a 3rd Party choice.

And yet the poll-takers seem oblivious to these non-Red and non-Blue voters and imagine that there are only 3 animals -- 1) the Trump idiots, 2) the Biden idiots, and 3) the idiots who think they have to choose which of these 2 camps of idiots to join.

Why are there only these 3 categories into which everyone must be herded?

But the Blue decideds and the Red decideds are just as stupid. So whose vote should count?

But who are these "adults"? not the Trump fanatics or the Blue anti-Trump fanatics. They don't have even 1½ functional brain cells. It's better to let the teddy bear take the wheel than turn the driving over to these mindless cattle whose only claim to adulthood is their ability to snort their preference between the hooting-and-howling Red or hooting-and-howling Blue demagogues.

In order to arrive at these opinions you proclaim, you must first ignore all context. The vast majority of one of the parties listens to scientists on the vast majority of topics. The vast majority of the other party ... doesn't. One of these parties is more interested in facts which is why highly educated people are drawn to it. One of these parties is interested in enriching the wealthy and enshrining myths(Abrahamic religions) and myth based policies into government institutions, which is why kleptocrats and poorly educated magical thinkers are drawn to it.


There is a best choice here and abstaining from voting or voting 3rd party isn't it.

Well, when you make your living making adult nursery rhymes while someone else behind you spins a disk with someone else's music on it money becomes quite important to you.

You're telling that to someone who doesn't listen to scientists.

This is "both sides" bullshit of the highest order. It also ignores overwhelming evidence about the electorate, particularly those who intend to vote for Biden. But you go on pretending you're above it all while the world burns.
