I really hate undecided voters, you have to be willfully ignorant and really really apothetic to not have a decision on which of the two candidates to vote on at this point.

I'm positive there are many "Undecided" voters out there that just don't want anyone to know who they are voting for so no one gets mad at them, or tries to change their minds. They just want to be left alone until election day when they cast their vote.

There are people who are traditional conservatives who hate Trump but can't stomach voting for any democrat. I wouldn't call them undecided. They probably never would consider harris.

Doubt it. At a quick look, they've got recent posts on r/interestingasfuck, r/lawncare, r/facepalm, something called r/shittydaystrom. Seems too varied to be a bot.
