As John Stewart would say: well I'm still undecided... Cause a horse kicked my head.

The race is close because Republicans have built something better than a platform when you're dealing with ignorant masses.
They built a brand.
45% of American voters will vote for Trump even if every accusation against him is true. 45% of American voters will vote for Harris even if every accusation against her is true.
It stopped being about issues decades ago. It's about ideologies.

50% of people have below average intelligence and they finally feel represented... 🤷♂️
"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that." -George Carlin
"Half of them are smarter than that!" doesn't have the same ring to it.
Wouldn’t that be the median person? 🤓
Don't be mean.

Technically they could be talking about the median.

I'll keep investing in K-12 education
The bulk of elementary education funding comes from the states. So this doesn't mean much in practice.
One place where a federal official (like the President) would be able to help out immensely is by immediately cancelling some (or, fuck it, all) of the outstanding federally held student loan debt. This could be accomplished via the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students (HEROES) Act of 2003, which authorizes the secretary of the DOE to “waive or modify any statutory or regulatory provision applicable to” the Title IV loan programs “as the Secretary deems necessary” to ensure that individuals adversely affected by a Presidentially declared national emergency “are not placed in a worse position financially.”
A number of Presidential contenders promised just this back in 2020 (Warren, Sanders, even Biden himself). Sadly, Harris hedged on this pledge even back then and has not made any attempt to renew it now.
The bulk of student loans is held by private entities
This response seems like it’s missing the last few years: you’re aware that Biden’s administration has gone through multiple attempts of exactly this, right? Mostly struck down by courts as exceeding his authority.
The bulk of student loans is held by private entities
15% of student loans is underwritten by private lenders.
you’re aware that Biden’s administration has gone through multiple attempts
They've tried to negotiate with Republicans, fully aware Republicans won't accept their terms.
