Probably not every single solitary person, but the majority. I think politics have been too divisive to the point where the middle is too slim to make a difference. These aren't new political candidates. Nothing has changed.

From the NYTs - what a bunch of lame-ass ragebait.

You're not wrong. Here's hoping the Dems show up in droves as well

There's no wide middle, who is actually still undecisive in this election? Actual people, IRL I want to meet them. Not some twitter jockeys or media talking heads, not some podcast. Actual voters.

Do you actually know those people IRL? People on the fence? I haven't talked to anyone who hasn't already had their vote decided. The political climate has been the most divisive in my lifetime, to the point where the people I've spoken with IRL are either dug in with Trump or dug in against Trump. This scene doesn't change Trumps degressive views or awful policies. It doesn't change Trump from being a Felon or suspected pedophile.

If there are swing voters it's likely a really small number. At the end of the day the Democrats are dug in on Not Trump, and they have the numbers. They showed up for the last election, and the divisive politics have kept it in their peripheral since. RvW was huge, 2025 has been getting traction. There ain't many left that don't have their political compass set.

Doubtful, these last few political years have been too divisive.

Let's also take note here that your account reads like a smurf/bot account. I miss RES tagged so I could tag bad faith actors.

It doesn't for Democrat voters. They're only voting against Trump. This doesn't change who DT is, his viewpoints, or his past actions. This doesn't change him being a Felon and a suspected pedophile. All this is an attempt to incite more violence.

sympathy from swing voters

I would think that the number of actual swing voters is extremely low. The last few years of politics have been very divisive (probably an understatement), more so than anything in my lifetime. At this point, I haven't heard anyone IRL not have their political compass already pointed. Democrats have been dug in against DT since he announced he was running again. Rs have been dug in for DT since he announced he was running again.

...you’ve got apathetic D voters who really don’t want Biden to be president.

Let's be real, nobody wants Biden to run again, on either side. That being said, every Democrat knows what's at stake - and that's Donald fucking Trump. This situation doesn't change who DT is, his viewpoints, or his policies. The actual people, the actual voters realize that DT is just a way worse situation.

It’s not about changing voters’ votes - our elections are never about that - t’s about the number of people who cast a vote.

This nothingburger of a scene isn't going to stop some Democrat from voting. At the end of the day, there are more Blue than Red and the Dems are entrenched in not having DT in office. I don't even live in a big city, a red county even, and everyone I've talked to in person understands the stakes.

Yesterday’s event changes that.

Why would yesterdays events change your viewpoints on Turmp? How does that change his awful policies and degressive viewpoints? How does that change him being an actual Felon and suspected pedophile?

There's no real substance behind the idea that this guarantees a red victory. No Democrat who was against Trump before is going to realistically change their view over Trump over this situation. It doesn't change who Trump is or what he stands for. If this achieves anything, it will be to incite violence.

You'll also take notice many of the accounts parroting this nonsense are not old accounts. Usually, these accounts were just botted to repost news articles or memes and only just recently started commenting. It's a strange pattern I'm seeing across multiple threads.

Nobody is changing their vote over this... Like, the Democrats have been entrenched in "Not Trump" since the word GO, blue out numbers red and they know what's at stake.

Democrats aren't just jumping ship over this bullshit. The actual voters, the people, not the talking heads, are pretty entrenched in Not Trump. Votes aren't changing over this, and the Democrats know what's at stake. At the end of the day there's more blue than red and it was an L for Trump as soon as he said he was running.

Nobody is changing their vote over this shit. Democrats are pretty entrenched in not Trump. They knew what was at stake this election as soon as Trump stepped back up.

Trump will always have a platform because...

Yeah, but for how many more years? There's absolutely no way he'd run again if he loses, so it's really just a short ticking clock.

Doubt it. The people, the actual Democratic voters, not numbers, know what's at stake, nobody is changing their vote over this, nobody is going to lose votes over this.

I don't think this will change a thing. Nobody is changing their vote over this.

It's just an attempt to incite violence.

Are we really gonna sit here and act like Russia doesn't do the same governmental meddling in other countries? This is really just global politics 101, and it wasn't worth invading a country over.

they want the conflict to end

Ukraine wants the conflict to end with its borders intact and the aggressors out of its territory. It has stated this multiple times, just like any other established country would. It shouldn't have to give up Donbas just for Russia to cease fire for X years and then creep on forward.

If Ukraine truly wanted the conflict to end and just wanted to be bent over by Russia they would send up the white flag. Luckily they won't; thankfully they're fighting; hopefully they continue to push back. Just giving Russia free reign over invaded land sets a bad precedence.
