The reason politics Twitter has a hard time understanding that swing voters exist is because no prominent voices on politics Twitter are swing voters. This is a very partisan and polarized platform and a poor proxy for the electorate as a whole. Campaigns that get this fact win. https://t.co/Zp3lSrPJea

Twitter believes they don’t exist because as pointed out there are none on Twitter or among the commentariat.
But US elections are so close, even if “only” 5% are swing voters they might be worth competing for. This is something that Twitter people don’t understand because they “can’t imagine” how anyone could not be decided — but most people barely pay attention to politics, have no idea what is occurring in the news, and if they do vote they decide based on little to no information.
This is the reality; Twitter is the mirage.
