It’s almost like Trump tried a coup to avoid leaving office the last time around.

    Undecided voters are concerned that if Donald Trump returns to the White House, he’ll never leave.

    And . . . yet they’re undecided??

      Yeah but Biden is a disappointing centrist, so clearly I don’t know how choose between him and an authoritarian dictator.

        You make a valid point, but the reason people are undecided is that they they have no properly informed opinions. I hate this narrative that Biden is ineffective. Biden has done a lot of good things. And where congress failed, he found a way to get shit done anyway. People don’t know that because media sucks and their echo chambers don’t tell them. Or alternatively, their expectation about what a president can do in one term is completely unreasonable.

        And that is all while ignoring that a republican congress will hold back the entire country for years just to make sure their guy looks better. And it works! People complain about shit not getting done but couldn’t tell you how their representatives voted on those things.

        So yeah, pretty much what you said. They think the candidates are roughly the same, but they have no clue how what their candidates do actually affects them.

          And when something does get pushed past the obstructionism and helps people out, Republicans sometimes claim credit for the very thing they voted against.

            Or they sue the government with some BS argument for standing to have it repealed by activist judges.

      Undecided voter is a euphemism for “someone who literally does not give one shit about the world beyond their tiny little bubble in it”.

      If you saw Jordan Klepper’s Russia special, John Bolton straight up says he thinks Trump will pretty much end democracy.

      And then mentions that he’s going to write in a candidate when he votes.

      I don’t get it man. I’m not going to be happy voting for Biden, but I’d vote in Caligula’s horse if it meant avoiding fascism overtaking democracy in the US.
