One Latino voter said he would support President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump after the debate, according to an online post

A group of undecided Latino voters said they would vote for President Joe Biden after watching his Thursday night debate with former President Donald Trump.

…

A clip posted on X shows the group being interviewed by a journalist. One man said he would vote for Biden because “Trump sounded like a crazy liar,” according to Matt A. Barreto, professor of Political Science and Chicana/o & Central American Studies at UCLA.

The man being interviewed said Trump “said the same thing time after time” and was not answering questions or “saying how he would fix things,” according to a Newsweek translation.

He went on to admit that “Biden was indeed a bit slow in talking,” saying the president “has a stutter” but believes Biden explained "what he has done and what he is still doing while president.

“After being undecided for a little while, I think today, I switched to Biden,” he added.

    Agreed.

    ‘undecided’ = “unsure if I give a fuck enough to go vote for my side”

    This seems to have been true for awhile now. The two parties are so different, it’s hard to imagine anyone bouncing between the two as if they were close enough to compare.

    Which is honestly why I find a lot of the democratic campaigning and rhetoric weird. It seems to still be trying to cater to a group I don’t think exists, instead of trying to excite their existing voter base enough into actually voting.

      Wow imagine that someone might not have all the time you do to research politics in America. Or maybe they just aren’t smart enough right?

      How are so many replies here full of this blind nonsense.

      Did it ever occur to any of you spoiled fucks that politics usually ranks below:

      1. Work
      2. Taking care of family members
      3. Cleaning/maintaining property and equipment
      4. Spending free time with family
      5. Taking care of personal medical conditions

      You can’t imagine a single person who say works 2 or 3 jobs and has no time left for politics? Oh right they should probably just know already who’s the right person to vote for, huh? How stupid they must be right?

      And then y’all use that as evidence the country is going to shit and full of stupid people. Y’all are so fucking arrogant and none of it is earned.

        I’d be impressed if someone was so busy they literally couldn’t decide if they were pro-racist or not pro-racist. Politics is no longer a complicated question of policy but a simple division of core ethical values in America.
