A DNC Trend Emerges: Republican Officials Backing Harris
A DNC Trend Emerges: Republican Officials Backing Harris
Trump’s counterterrorism adviser Olivia Troye and former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan both urged Republicans to vote for Kamala Harris Wednesday night.
These speakers are the real conservatives and they will tell you up front that they don't agree with most Democrats BUT they see the very real danger that their party has become. Sometimes a back-fire is necessary to fight a forest fire. In other words, take the bus that gets you closest to your destination.
Yup! We can return the favor by supporting Republicans who follow reason and act in good faith. We all recognize that in some places getting anyone left leaning elected is practically impossible. So what we can do is back a good red ticket instead. Just one of many courses we could take in the near future. If you squint, this also has the potential to lead into a three party system later on.
That said, accountability should be part of the game they're playing.
I'll let you know when I find one...
Ever heard the phrase RINO, Republican In Name Only?
Reagan and Jerry Falwell purged the liberal GOPs back in the 1980s.
These days, George W. is considered a weak sister.
Oh how typical.
Republicans speaking out against the evil they not only participated in, but profited from.. but only after they've done their damage, made their corruption money, and retired, so they can have their cake and eat it too.
Not all retired. But your point still mostly stands.
It's insane to me that Brain Kemp would still support Trump after he shit talked him and his wife for not participating in his little insurrection.
Man I wish people understood that the Republican party is literally dead. Like, the Trumps literally own the party. And constitutionally, they can defacto choose their leader from here on. I mean everyone lost their shit about Debbie Schulz and Bernie, but the Trumps literally fucking buy the RNC and no one makes the connection? Can we bring that back up? Because they call Kamala’s ascendancy questionable — it’s pure projection! Who can even believe anything our beleaguered eyes even say anymore. Fuck this, fuck everyone. If Kamala doesn’t win, I hope I’m dead before we infinitely regress into feudal pieces of shit
do the republicans realize they're gonna have some bullshit fuckhead with the last name Trump on the ticket in 2028, 2032, 2036, and so on until they're all dead?
It's like none of the Republicans of the last 8 year have any ambition of their own. Willing to suck off an orange circus clown for the chance to be in the circus.
When the rats start jumping, the ship is sinking.
They might be rats, but it's a good sign.
And the DNC is welcoming those rats aboard
No. They're just realizing there's a difference between an opponent and an enemy.
I may think non-MAGA Republicans are wrong, but I never doubted that Romney, McCain, and even Bush were traitors or enemies of the United States. I'll happily work alongside Republicans when our goals align, I'll speak out when they do not, and I'll try and reach a consensus with my fellow Americans.
Trump is a traitor and an enemy to American Democracy and the rule of law. There is no compromise. No working together. He needs to be stopped at any cost, and I'll accept the help of anyone who wants to fight him.
Alternative headline: DNC keeps platforming paleoconservatives 🤦
Just because Trump is a bridge too far for them doesn't mean they're not the enemy when it comes to everything except presidential endorsements.
The DNC promoting these Dick Cheney-style ghouls is moving the media Overton window further right to the enormous detriment of everyone who's to the left of Ronald "sledgehammer to the economy to benefit the rich" Reagan.
I mean yes but Jesus Christ they're helping us douse an active house fire, this is all hands on deck.
a house fire they helped light and fueled, before they retired and suddenly started speaking out, totally not in an attempt to angle for a speaking head job at some network where they can play both sides.
call me crazy, but I don't particularly want an arsonists help with regards to putting out fire.
Problem is, they still want to splash gasoline everywhere because they pretend they like the smell while they own the place that sells it, and deny having to do anything with creating the current problem at all.

It's absolutely insane to see folks who would have gleefully endorsed Project 2025 any other day of the week show up to say "Donald Trump was mean to me, personally, so I'm supporting Kamala Harris this year."
They're not your fucking friends.
good lets bring back that republican party so congress can be about debating boring things like tax policy instead of having them fight to ban books, ban trans people, or ban immigrants.
Lord. I miss the days when I could say "I think the Republican candidate will meaningfully weaken American influence and moral authority on the world stage, damage our national finances in service to business elites, and cause needless deaths both at home and abroad through reckless and callous policy" instead of "Jesus fucking Christ, this is just outright, directly stated fascism, why are all of you ghouls still voting [R]???"
Sadly that republican party is just the current democratic party
I remember when it was safe to completely ignore politics....
Not really, but I would love to go back in time and prevent the election of Reagan and Nixon
Sadly at this point I'll settle for anyone left of "Hunting the homeless for sport with brand new Assault Rifle 15s from the most recent school shooting"
I completely get where you're coming from, but that's how it got this bad in the first place: by people always settling for the lesser evil and never demanding anything more from their representatives than "at least be marginally better than the other side" of the broken and corrupt dichotomy.
After fucking decades of the most atrocious government at every fucking level - local, state, and federal - anyone could have dreamed up, why the fuck am I supposed to find the endorsement of "Guy who defunded the public libraries and day care centers in majority black neighborhoods so he could give tax cuts to the most Mr. Burns looking motherfucker in town" appealing?
These people suck. I don't want Democrats to feel like they owe them anything. Especially after Obama spent his first 100 days doing the compromise dance, only to get kicked in the balls over and over again by the most sadistic ghouls the US Senate has to offer.
It's not aimed at you
It's a zero-sum game. When you're trying to appeal to Border Patrol Republicans, that means fucking over everyone still waiting in line for a green card.
Trying to appeal to republicans sure worked out well in 2016. And in 2022. I'm sure this time, all the republicans will vote democrat if the democrats just turn into republicans in all but name.

Wikipedia about this sourceHow the hell do people think this is a good thing? I guess it helps expose Democrats for the right wing party that they are.
because a healthy opposition is a good thing for getting things done.
It shows that there's a diverse party of people that are trying to lead America into the future and a party that only has a plan to rule America into the ground.
Obviously Republicans that aren't willing to sell out their country for a chance to kiss the ring are looking for some way to distinguish themselves from their treasonous brethren.
i love how dems have just adopted every talking point that republicans have been using for the past twenty years, and literally nobody fucking cares, because it's actually based.
Alternative title: "Democrats have moved far enough right while pretending to be on the left that conservatives openly support them"
Disgusting
the republicans speaking at the convention are hardly hardcore social conservatives....
If Biden is doing such a good job, and things are going good.. why is Harris talking about changing everything on Day 1? I don't get it... they're in power now, and yet, everything is STILL Trump's fault...
The simple answer is the democrats are finally tired of trying to compromise with trash.
