That’s just it. If the so-called ‘swing voters’ actually decide elections, no politician will ever say ‘you half wits who somehow manage to vote but who vote one way and then another and can’t give a rational reason as to why—vote for the other guy. I don’t want the mouth breather vote.’
If the swing vote actually decides all elections, then even the good election results are actually chosen by the dumbest 10% of voters. The winning conservative could have had less debate flubs or was perceived to be more popular so attracted more of the people who vote based on perceived popularity or some other non-rational reason. But it wasn’t because of any consistant philosophical or political reason. That’s pretty mind blowing when you think about it.
