    The racists, as OP mentioned, would have voted for Trump regardless. The Dems need to convince the moderate, undecided voters

      Not at all. The Nazis would have voted for Trump regardless. But, there are a lot of biased people out there who wouldn’t even think of themselves as racist or sexist, they’ll just “have doubts”.

      Unconscious bias is a major issue.

      Anybody right now who is undecided is not moderate. The moderates are all already voting against Trump. Anybody undecided is either a very-low-information voter, who mostly gets their news from TikTok or conspiracy forums, or they’re a very right-wing voter who hates the democrats with a passion, but are having trouble getting over their dislike of Trump too.

        I don’t disagree with you, but let’s not forget apathetic voters… people that were just disenchanted with both of the old guys and wouldn’t vote for either.

        Surely Kamala will get some traction with women.

          Definitely, I just wonder how that will compare with the sexist vote (both men and women (but mostly men)).
