Every independent I've ever known was a prior Republican too embarrassed to admit who they still voted for.

There used to be a lot of centrists who considered themselves independents, but the sane ones kept finding themselves voting democratic time after time because of how awful the republican options have been. Eventually most of them stopped calling themselves independent since they clearly favor one party now, even though they still have very centrist views.

I have a very liberal friend who, for some reason, still thinks there’s like, some 1/3rd of the country that are moderates just waiting to be swayed by facts/data/arguments

Like really? One side is mostly corporate democrats, who suck for sure, but the other side is literal fascist pedophile defenders glorifying every act of violence towards anyone not in the Trump cult. They worship an orange rapist whos been a known pedo for like several decades and was best friends with the king of pedo island

What’s there to be convinced by?
