I canvassed in PA this weekend and sadly think Trump will win

[Anonymous]

Went to 39 doors and surprisingly got to talk to 17 people. These were registered democrats and independents...a few households had one registered D and on R. Out of the 17 people, about 6 said they plan to or have already voted for Harris. The other 10ish people said still undecided or decided but weren't going to tell us any more details. The interesting part was the conversations I had the undecided...asking them what would help them decide. It became clear through the questions that they were really going to vote for Trump but didn't feel good about it. This included a legal immigrant and his wife who just got citizenship and will be voting for the first time. The undecided still say they see Trump as "strong" and they don't see Harris offering anything new. An ex-marine whose wife is voting for Harris said he can't stand Trump but "it will be a game day decision"-- they have a son who is type 1 diabetes and worried about healthcare and insulin costs for him---said the Harris insulin price cuts were not for children with diabetes. That bothers him. What I realized is those saying they are undecided really are going to vote for Trump, if they vote at all. They don't feel good about it, don't like him, but fear wins and he has instilled a false narrative of fear and that he is the strongman---and no convincing voters otherwise. Trump is a fraud yet he is a white man and sadly our country is going to vote for the white man. I hope I am proved wrong but I am feeling nervous.

it's a good hting you started a new thread for this, because concern trolls really have no place else to share their doom

Interesting, thanks for your insight.

I have seen similar threads that came to the 180 conclusion, that Harris would win. 39 houses is not a lot, but it is a nice anecdote and snapshot into what concerns some American voters.

I did too OP and I agree with you. All enthusiasm on the ground is for Trump. (Yay!)

Wow. Well if that wasn’t a thorough assessment of the election, I don’t know what is. You should start a blog.

If this is your argument, I can tell you right now why you're losing people.

Sadly. So sadly. Can’t we hear the totally honest OP weeping from our phones?

Did the Marine mention anything about Biden Harris and the Afghanistan withdrawal?

op here- no but he mentioned how sick it makes him that Trump has called POW’s suckers and losers and how he had the photo op at Arlington cemetery.

The country is only 13% black.

So theoretically, we should have a black president every 7 election cycles.

So who cares if the candidates are white?

OP, what you and all the other breathless, panicked democrats seem to forget is that we already had "the white man" as president. And during that time, except when democrats were trantruming in the streets, there were no vast wars, assassination attempts every other week, threats to Title IX, and hardly any inflation.

It was a prosperous and peaceful time for most people.

OP here- Never said it was a thorough assessment. Just sharing my take away from canvassing in one middle class neighbor in a swing state- just was an interesting exercise and more enlightening talking face to face with voters than reading anonymous comments.
