[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...about whether Biden is cognitively capable of being president.

65% saw him as unfit for office prior to the debate, and that only went up to 72%

Notwithstanding this, the race is still tight, meaning that a sizable percentage of people (~20%) are okay voting for someone they view as cognitively unfit to lead the free world.

This is interesting because I got the impression from DCUM that there was widespread ignorance about Biden’s... let's call it affect. DCUM has consistently expressed a belief that Biden is spry and mentally agile, particularly when compared to his opponent Trump. While some DCUMers have since acknowledged that they ignored the signs, many are committed to a belief that either Biden is okay, or that his cognitive health is irrelevant to his job performance. By the numbers, this means DCUM is basically inhabited by among the most committed and perhaps extreme supporters on the left. [/quote]

"Only" 7%? This makes it sound like a 7% shift is trivial. That is a big shift.

It definitely matters because it's a swing vote shift. 70% to 80% of all voters are the lower IQ sheep that will vote for any and all candidates put forth by their party of choice every election. It's the 20% to 30% of independent/uncommitted/swing voters that matter and 7% is a large chunk of those folks.[/quote]

I doubt it is as high as 7%. Most people had their minds made up.[/quote]

All of this ignores GenZ. Many of whom turned 18 after 2020. To those of us living with them (or not while they’re in college, many in swing states) it looks like they’ve been forgotten.[/quote]

Do you remember the footage of college students lined up to vote during the mid term elections? They know what’s at stake and I doubt they will sit this one out.[/quote]

Yes, I do. My kid waited in line for 5 hours to vote in a swing state. I’m not sure that will happen this year. If you’re around GenZ you know what they’re saying. It’s not good. I don’t blame them. [/quote]

Relax. As long as Biden does the right thing by stepping away from his pursuit for a second term, a majority of swing voters of all ages will be willing to do what is necessary to keep Trump from winning in November. I think Biden will do the right thing. If he doesn't, your fears are warranted. [/quote]

Is Biden the best candidate. No. but don’t underestimate the people that will vote blue no matter what.
[/quote]

Yes, the careless sheep that vote red and blue no matter what will continue to exist. This election, like most, will be decided by swing voters in swing states and all those voters are looking for is a normal candidate to save them from the Trump/Biden mess.[/quote]
Wow, way to talk down to people who vote Democratic. I have looked at my options and concluded that the GOP offers nothing for the betterment of anyone or anything. Until that changes, why the hell would I vote for a Republican? [/quote]

You and I aren't the careless sheep. It sounds like you take the time to find out who and what you're voting for before going to the polls. Many people don't. They live in red or blue bubbles and all they know to do is vote for the person with an R or D next to their name no matter what. Those people exist; trust me!![/quote]
I’m the PP you’re replying to and yes, you’re smug. That you look any Democratic voter who is voting to save our entire system of governance, our much less corrupt than many other countries democracy and conclude that they’re a clueless sheep is shockingly arrogant. It’s a binary system. Like I said, until the GOP offers us something, there is no way in hell people will vote for them.

In other words: I don’t see any blue bubbled people. I don’t see Democrats denying reality and ignoring statistics.

But I do see your arrogance. [/quote]
