I’m convinced that “undecided” voters aren’t struggling to pick a candidate, they’re struggling to decide if they should vote at all. I bet the vast majority of them would vote for Biden if they show up to the ballot box. Tell your friends and family that are disenchanted to hold their noses and vote for Biden.
@jeff Bingo. (FWIW, I don’t consider myself a Democrat either. I find the party maddeningly incapable of playing the game of politics.)
@cleverdevil Good and evergreen advice. It's always about the turnout and almost never about undecideds

@jonathan look only 60% of the electorate turned out at the U.K. election last week as folk are so fed up with what’s on offer. Our new Gov’s majority is built on sand as only 20% of the electorate voted for them. But what emerged was a surge in third party and Independent votes. Few were interested in the ‘big two’ The USA is no different. If people are indifferent to both they will not turn out or support a third party candidate if on the ticket.

@jonathan Alternate take, from somebody who is decidedly not a Democrat not particularly enthused about Democratic candidates as a rule.
Vote for Biden in 2024 so that we can still have free and fair elections in 2028.
Pretty difficult to reform public policy in a dictatorship, and democracy itself is on the ballot this year.
