If you're undecided, have you been paying attention?

By Tom Burke / Herald Columnist

There are 41 days until the election.

And if you don’t know who you’re voting for by now you’re clearly not reading The Herald’s Opinion page or following the straight news except maybe on Fox or some other MAGA-biased propaganda outlet.

Because for any modestly sentient creature there can be no mystery what Donald Trump stands for and what Kamala Harris represents; and the difference between the two is difference between an authoritarian MAGA-cult, religious-right wanna-be dictator and the survival of our democracy.

And there isn’t any real mystery that Project 2025 completely represents the Trump-Vance “platform” while Harris-Walz has been explicit about their people-centered goals for a presidency.

I think most so-called undecided voters just don't give a sh*t.

Most of them are people busy with their lives, children, aging parents, jobs, responsibilities, etc.

Most of them are neither morons nor Nazis (but will passively enable Nazi-ism by not standing against it).

You could say it's moronic to not care when so much is at stake, but there's that old saying about "Walking a mile in another's shoes."
