A group of undecided Latino voters said they would vote for President Joe Biden after watching his Thursday night debate with former President Donald Trump.

A clip posted on X shows the group being interviewed by a journalist. One man said he would vote for Biden because “Trump sounded like a crazy liar,” according to Matt A. Barreto, professor of Political Science and Chicana/o & Central American Studies at UCLA.
The man being interviewed said Trump “said the same thing time after time” and was not answering questions or “saying how he would fix things,” according to a Newsweek translation.
He went on to admit that “Biden was indeed a bit slow in talking,” saying the president “has a stutter” but believes Biden explained "what he has done and what he is still doing while president.
“After being undecided for a little while, I think today, I switched to Biden,” he added.
So… That means don’t vote? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say to be honest
My point is that working within a system that’s designed to disenfranchise us is an exercise in futility, and telling people in red states to go vote is more likely to frustrate than inspire them. If voting is the beginning and end of your political participation, then you can be controlled simply by controlling who gets to be on the ballot.
When the government becomes intolerable, we must become ungovernable.
We need to build alternative structures of power that can organize around the intransigence of the State. This means forming affinity groups that serve community needs despite government opposition, like how the Black Panthers had school breakfast and literacy programs.
