So Harris get 200 staffers from Bush, McCain, and Romney. Plus a retired 4-star general, and several former Whitehouse officials who worked for the Trump administration.
And Trump gets.... Tulsi Gabbard, and maybe a couple of other shitheels who pretended to be Democrats.
Bit of a lop-sided divide there!
But Trump has... Kid Rock? 🤣
And he can fucking keep him.
And Ted Nugent!
Don't forget about Hulk "the brain damage" Hogan.
Was it the drugs or the pretend wrestling that messed up his brain?
Or just the Peter Thiel money.
Yes
Kid Rock is the perfect artist for trump. Just like Trump's campaign, kid rocks music was funny as a joke years ago, but it stopped being funny a long time ago and I just want the talentless fuck to go away and stop showing up in the media.
Or was that Turd Nugent....?
but republicans are trapped so far in the twitter bubble they actually think rfk and tulsi is a huge get
Lmfao, how many conservatives does it take to endorse the "progressive" before the "blue no matter who" crowd realise they're not voting "blue" at all, and worse, that "blue" is and always has been a fiction created to shift the Overton window constantly to the right and manufacture consent by and for whatever it is those in power are actually interested in?
What a fucking joke, seriously...
Have you listened to any of these Republicans who have endorsed her talk? They all think she's wayyyy too progressive for them during normal times, they're not endorsing Harris because she's somehow a conservative now, they're endorsing Harris because their party got taken over by fascists and they're rare spine-filled conservatives.
We have to beat the Republican because beating the Republican comes first. Then we need to get a veto-proof majority so that our Democrat president doesn't veto the legislation written by our Democrats in Congress. Finally, we need to elect a fully liberal SCOTUS.
Only then can we talk about lowering the enrollment age for Medicare by three years. Only then can we talk about raising the minimum wage by $1. Only then can we talk about establishing a student loan debt forgiveness program for Pell Grant recipients who start a business that operates for three years in disadvantaged communities.
I am a former Romney staffer (true story) and wholeheartedly support Harris/Walz. But it's been many years since I left the dark side.
So why would I vote for her?
Because of who she's running against.
That's it.
If you don't understand this then I can't help you.
They're suffering from the ML. They know why they should. But more than anything they're anti west. They'll hypocritically endorse those doing the exact things they critique the west of. As long as they aren't perceived as Western.
Once you understand that. All the nutty self contradictory things make perfect sense.
I'd link her policy platform but it's still not on her website. Bookmark it for later...
Sorry that was a rhetorical question: If Republicans support her then why would I vote for her?
From the article.
We have plenty of honest, ideological disagreements with Vice President Harris and Gov. Walz. That's to be expected. The alternative, however, is simply untenable," said the letter, which was first reported by USA Today.
Remember what he did with TS clearance and his children. The alternative is a national security risk.
You are on lemmy.ml. You love fascists. So you probably would vote trump anyway
