Cheney and bush and reagan's helpers and ... actually ALL of these scoundrels, curmudgeons and assholes - their endorsement of Mrs. Harris after the crimes they pulled and the mayhem they put in motion - fuck them and their endorsements. It's like having john wayne gacy supporting democrats - who wants or cares what that loathsome cretin chimes in about?

The owner class has finally figured out that having the Dynamite Monkey for president would be bad for business.
Democrats are the new Republicans.
I sure hope they don't go that way!
They already are. Present day Democrats have George W Bush era Republican vibes. The Overton Window has shifted far to the right. That ratchet effect always has liberals shifting to the right.
The American left and right have always agreed on the role of the individual voter in the government, and the role of the government generally. They only vary on who they think should be allowed to have rights, and the rights they should have. They generally agree on economics, business, the police, and the military industrial complex. Each of which contribute to the general oppression of the non-rich citizens.
I don't disagree, but what do we call the Republicans? thinking_face_emoji
freaks
fascists. they are fascists. and democrats will be soon, if they arent already.
ratchet effect in practice.
The pendulum seems to only swing to the right.
because the right is on the side of the rich, and they sponsor them so they win
We can see how this is bad right. This is just like proof that the Dems today are what RONALD REAGAN was? Like ... this is a thing we can all see, and by Harris not publicly donouncing these endorsements along with Cheney's there is a problem... like an obviousl problem? we all see this right?
Dems in 1990 were what Reagan was.
Thank you for making my point better for me.
Who thinks this helps?
It literally does though. Forget our personal politics for a moment. I don't think there's a single voter already planning to vote for Kamala Harris who would stay home because the staffers of a long-dead president support her. Keep in mind, Harris and her campaign have zero control over who officially endorses her. And even among the people who are not solidly behind her, many see her as the obvious only sane choice and are planning an anti-Trump vote no matter what.
But on the other side, I could definitely see centrists and Republicans swayed by what they view as the administration of "the greatest president ever" (fuck Reagan) denouncing Trump and supporting Harris. They may not even vote for her, but if they stay home this could literally tip the election for Kamala Harris.
There are a lot of voters who suspect that there's no difference between the two parties. Moves like this only ensure they stay home and don't vote.
