I think we can both agree that if there were a way to get though to those “undecided voters” it would be worth pursuing.

I think where we might disagree is whether it is possible, or if it is, is it worth the time and money to do so.

I heard someone explain it in these terms (I am making up the numbers, but it was along these lines):

“Undecided voters make up 20% of the electorate. Of that 20%, 40% of them are going to vote for The Leftist candidate no matter what you say to them. 30% of them are going to vote for the Other candidate. Of the remaining 30%, 60% of them aren’t going to vote at all. That leaves a thin slice of the electorate.”

In real tight elections, that could make a difference. I just don’t believe that we are in “real tight election” territory. I think there is, and has been massive voter fraud.

Their agenda doesn’t sell except to the ignorant or the ideologically driven.

I cannot remember who I heard say it (might have been Steven Crowder just recently) that when an interviewer told Kamala Harris that Ballotpedia (or some other similar site) had designated her as the most liberal Senator in the country back in 2019, she did that nervous cackle and attempted to play it down or discount it.

Crowder made the point that if you said to nearly any Republican (even perhaps the squishy ones) that Ballotpedia had designated them as the most conservative Senator in the country, they would almost certainly brighten up, straighten their back and say “That’s great!”

And that is because conservative economic and freedom ideas sell to Americans, and statist, tyrannical Leftist ideas don’t sell...and they damn well know it.

I think you and I can disagree on various things (I say that because I often read your posts) but I do see common ground here on that.

I hope...:)
