I live in a place surrounded by Trump voters. They all talk about how great he is. He must be ok for so many people I know to be for him, but I'm not really seeing it. But I'm just too damn busy with work and the kids to watch those FOX News shows everybody talks about. I'm hearing so many different things about Kamala I don't know where I would even start to find out who's right, even if I had the time. I don't know where I can find information I can trust.

Perhaps the person is kinda hopin' information comes their way without effort. And who knows? Maybe it will. Perhaps a personable pair of Harris canvassers braving a red district listening to their concerns, answering questions, and above all, not looking at them like they're an idiot for being ambivalent.

However, if no information comes their way that gives them a reason to vote for Harris, they probably don't bother voting or they go with the social consensus where they live and vote for Trump.
