I was reading somewhere (here) that “swing voters” in USA are not temperamentally moderate. They may have a bunch of strong left opinions and also a bunch of strong right opinions.
It’s almost more like, you’re trying to create a big voter bloc that can be pandered to, just as voter blocs like teachers and police are pandered to today, kinda, right?
Yeah, I agree. The fantasy is to create a “swing voter bloc”, with a formalized (fairly objective) declaration about how to pander. People who don’t feel represented by either party, or by other blocs, can increase their voice by joining the bloc (provided they feel it could represent them, of course).
