I think that it's interesting to watch the tactics of these two candidates as the race is coming to an end. The voter base is so polarized (people tend to vote more for their party rather than the candidate), so their main goal is to try and persuade the voters with the more moderate views who have not yet made up their mind. Now, it seems that it is not just their words that are important, but their audience. Now, it is key for them to choose their speech locations very wisely in order to spread their "fan base" and gain votes.
Karl Marx once said that the end of democracy would be the two party system. do you think that this "hivemind" philosophy of modern politicing is conducive to this?
