There is no middle ground

I’ve come to the conclusion that the amount of sheer venom in this year’s presidential race comes from simple mathematics that both parties have already understood.

Here’s the size of the undecided voters: 2% of the US population, about 4 million voters.

“Gallup’s last three polls say that as few as 2 percent of the electorate is undecided” – Bloomberg

Here’s the percentage of voters who didn’t participate in the few couple of presidential elections: 48% of the US population., about 99 million voters.

“Eligible voters who voted – 1992: 55.1% – 1996: 49.0% – 2000: 51.3%” – Infoplease

Where would you put your energy? Convincing 4 million to vote your way, or energizing half of the 99 million to simply vote?
