Undecided Voters are Mostly Attention Seeking Assholes

i'm mostly talking about the ones who have time to go on stupid media panels to discuss things and talk about how they need to know this or that .

most of these are not undecided but self important assholes looking for attention .

i think the only true undecided voters are the type where someone truly feels strongly about two things . for example they might be strongly against abortion but they have issues with republicans on the economy. in this case it's not a matter of needing more info but how they will personally end up voting and what will be more important to them.

the rest of them just want to be on tv. the funny thing is these fuckers think they are better and above the partisans when they are just douchebags.

I don't get how a person can be undecided, unless you're totally unengaged and actually don't care.

You have a choice between an experienced, prepared, highly intelligent policy wonk with excellent ideas and plans to achieve them, and a bloated orange lying, cheating, racist, sexist, homophobic cretin.

It's all about the "Look at MEEEEE" culture. Warhol's 15 Minutes of Fame, on steroids. The only way they feel they can be noticed and perceived as important is to withhold their true opinion, and play the coquette, waiting to be wooed. It's just a stupid, stupid way to get attention. My opinion of them is that they are self centered asses, or idiots. Or perhaps both!

I listen to them and wonder at one point will them finally decide! They cannot be people interested at all in politics or they would pretty much know how the candidates feel about things. I think they want to be dramatic. Right now I know that if someone cannot make up their mind between Clinton & Trump they have really big problems!

They want you to think that only through careful consideration of all the facts have they finally reached the decision to vote for racist misogynistic billionaire-licking poor-hating Republican assholes.

Undecided my fucking ass. They're just ashamed.

Anyone who doesn't know at this point that any Democrat is a better candidate than Donald fucking Trump, is either: not a very nice person, or just plain fucking stupid.

How often during the primaries of the days gone by have I seen various posters write: "Convince me why your candidate is the best" right here on DU. THAT is some really sad attention whoring. Lots of that stuff here.

Milk or bleach? We'll be asking undecided voters after this commercial break.
