swing voters and undecided voters basically by definition think about and engage with politics differently than anyone on this site, anyone who writes for the ny times, and the vast majority of the times’ subscribers. otherwise they wouldn’t be undecided/swing voters.
my dental hygienist reports that her boyfriend made her watch the debate, she was unimpressed by either candidate, is very worried about abortion, and to express her displeasure might vote 3rd party
Earlier this year I encouraged someone to vote in the primary. She said she never votes because she thinks it is all fixed in advance and the politicians just decide for themselves. As soon as she said it, I think she realized that she didn't have a sympathetic ear on that theory.
