The 2020 Election Will Be Decided By The Independent Voters [View all]
The polling numbers on Trump have been thoroughly consistent: The Republicans have been 90% behind him and the Democrats are more than 90% against him. Those numbers are not going to change.
The fluctuation is always in the middle. The self-described Independents. This group of voters went heavily for Trump in 2016 and swung back dramatically to the Democrats in 2018.
That's why I'm for a Biden-Harris ticket. These Independent voters will not swing wildly in either ideological direction. They want comfort. As the waning election days of 2016 approached, the New York Times proclaimed that the FBI found nothing to pin on Trump in regards to the Russian investigation and then Comey dropped that fucking letter appearing to reopen the Hillary investigation and linking the whole thing to that creep, Anthony Wiener. Hillary still carried the popular vote by 2 points, but the damage was done.
That's why I'm with Biden. I want a Biden-Harris ticket, not based on philosophy, but based on math. This formidable, squishy middle of the American voter needs to feel comfortable. Joe Biden brings back the nostalgia of the Obama-Biden years. Only fear, real or imagined, can make this election a horse race. I get the Progressive agenda, but this is not the time to take any chances. I'm sorry, but the Biden-Harris ticket is as close as we can come to the comfort zone which is sought by the very bland Independent voters, while still energizing our base and looking to the future with Harris as VP.
If I were to vote in a presidentialprimary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
