It's not about the undecided. You'd have to have brain worms to be undecided when Trump is an option. Undecided right now is like choosing between a stale pile of dog shit and fast food and justifying it by saying "well fast food is pretty shitty".
It's about getting people to VOTE. People who don't usually vote need to get out and vote. That's it. That's what's going to make the difference. Kamala has to mobilise reluctant voters.
There are undecideds, though. Every election, millions and millions of people turn 18, and they were under 14 the last time this lunatic was in office, too young to really understand. Many may have been raised in conservative households and are just now forming their own opinions as they enter the real world.
And you’re absolutely right about this, which is why the right is desperately trying to make that as hard as possible right now.

Did you read what I wrote? It is always about the undecideds. Bases hardly ever sway. I did a paper about it in college. I even received a high mark. Maybe you are responding to the wrong thread?
It's not about the people who are undecided between Kamala and Trump. It's about the people who are undecided between Kamala and not voting at all.
You are over simplifying the problem to suit your needs. There are no facts to support it either. If more people vote it would help a little bit of each. Undecideds are the biggest percentages of voters. Something like 70 percent.
