Undecided voters say they now support Joe Biden after debate

www.newsweek.com For one undecided Latino voter, debate shifted him to Biden

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.

It’s hard to vote for Joe Biden but it’s really fucking easy to vote against Donald Trump.
- Why is it so important that everyone vocalize exactly how reluctant they are to vote for Biden? Has his administration really done so poorly? I understand the frustration with Israel but that has more to do with us as a country historically as well as with how strong our ties with Israel are. I don't know how fast everyone expects us to break all those bonds, and they somehow expect there to be no backlash either?
  Apparently patience is just gone in the internet age.
  
  After watching the debate, it’s natural for many of us on the left to feel a little queasy about voting for Biden. The man’s time has long since passed. It makes sense that many would feel compelled to vocalize their reluctance while still voting for him.
  I will vote for Biden, but this whole situation is a shit show and I worry for the future of the country. Hopefully the DNC can get their shit together and drum up some solid candidates moving forward because the republicans show no sign of moving away from the far right.
  
  I will admit it is especially embarrassing on the global stage, but I guess the US is t the only country right now dealing with some nonsense.
  I wonder if the propaganda from other nations is really that good or if we really just love to argue.
  
  Yes it is embarrassing, yes other countries have similar issues, yes propaganda was and is very good at sowing dissent, and yes it does appear that we argue more when tensions are high.
  
  Even like to argue about how to relive the tension! Oh well I still think things are moving forward, maybe a lot of this is the backlash of all the moneyed interests against the people.
  
  I think that some of us hoped "strong ties" would maybe stop at "enabling genocide." Biden has signaled disapproval, but the US is also basically threatening the ICC for making a warrant for bibi. Absolutely unhinged shit. Dude is unquestionably a war criminal.
  
  It sort of makes sense if you see it as trying to salvage Israel as a partner, although a lot of people, myself included, would rather just cut ties with Israel altogether.
  
  For fucks sake the dude couldn't even make a coherent point during the debate, even forgetting what he was talking about mid sentence.
  You really don't see a problem? No problem at all?
  
  You're talking about Trump right? Here's the transcript:

  There's a reason why most of Trump's cabinet from his one term don't endorse him for a second term. He's nuts.
- Now I wish there were other candidates.
