The biggest thing i hear from undecideds I talk to is that nobody really seems to care about the threat to democracy and Trump being evil. They just continue to assume he’s gonna be better for economy and their messaging of blaming Biden/Kamala for everything works.
It’s not only that, it’s the fact that Trump is so profoundly dangerous that the danger becomes a central talking point, which drowns everything else out.
Harris might go on an interview, and talk about what she wants to do for the country, but then the interviewer asks her about Trump’s fascism and she answers honestly. The headline the next day is “Harris calls Trump names”, the policy stuff is a footnote, and people sat they are still waiting for her to explain her vision.
I distinctly remember a headline that read “Trump and Harris trade barbs”. When you read it though, it contrasted Trump calling Harris dumb misogynistic names to Harris pointing out all the people from his last administration who called him unfit.
