Your concerns are valid but all the Rs coming out like this is more about how terrible Trump is and less about anything else. Don’t underestimate how many moderates there are in both parties and these Rs help there - progressives need their votes. After Trump is gone, we can hopefully go back to trying to improve the voting system, pushing Dems more left and hope that anyone on the right exchanges some of their selfinterests for social interests - but that’s best we can dream for.
-
Adding Republicans won't push the Democrats to the left. It's just going to keep ahoving the overton window further and further to the right.

Your feelings don't matter.
Trump has a 43% favorable rating, and there's a good chance he could win in November.
Even after the Nazis had taken Paris, there were French monarchists who felt they were too good to unite with the Communists in the Resistance.
When the Dems have an unbreakable, veto proof majority in Congress and the Senate, and the White House, then we can start to pick and choose.

If you listened to Harris's acceptance speech at the DNC, its definitely becoming a two-way street with these neocon ghouls. She's accepting their endorsements today. And she's going to start taking their advice tomorrow.
Blah blah Trump Worse Blah blah. But Harris surrounding herself with the Bush/Cheney crowd does not bode well for our foreign policy going into 2025. And I'm not exactly bullshit about our economic prospects when Mr. "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" is whispering in the next President's ear.
-
Too bad. We're watching the death throes of the GOP, and the Dems will stay right to continue courting the hemorrhaging right-wing voters. It's just another little reminder that after electing Harris, leftists will need to continue to organize to form our own pro-labor party.

you think this time we might see a bunch of faithless republican electorates?
It's definitely an interesting idea...

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.
-
You're really not making the point you think you are.
Their words don't matter (seriously, people are now going to convince themselves that conservatives have even a smidge of integrity, honesty, or a single non-self serving bone in their body, to make this work? smfh), their actions do, and their actions are to support a candidate that serves their interests best, and anyone serving their interests best (E: only because the other person is saying the quiet parts of their ideology out loud and getting in their way, and absolutely not because they disagree with said ideology), isn't serving yours, at all.
You can try to maintain your cognitive dissonance at whatever cost you wish, but that won't change reality. ¯(ツ)/¯

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.

So, like to so many other posters like this, I pose the question:
What is the alternative?
There are 49 Jocks led by a narcissistic jerk of a cheerleader in our school, and they have promised to close the book club and the game club, and make it easier for the jocks to abuse the Nerds, and the only thing between them and that is us 51 Nerds. When the SGA elections happen, the person with the most votes wins, and if that means 49 Jocks to 48 Nerds to 3 Nerds that bought the bullshit and voted third party or stayed home, it's a 49 to 48 win for the Jocks and we 51 Nerds will just have to make do without Book and Game club. Is this person seriously advocating voting third party or staying home because Team Blue is too purple for their tastes? That's a good way to get Project 2025 up the back entrance, sideways, without lube or dinner. A reminder to everyone else who might be swayed by this individual. There's a reason why they are net -50 on votes right now and have 65 downvotes, and it's not groupthink.

Keep in mind that there are also foreign intelligence interests in posting divisive shit online

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...
-
For the fire memes, of course. Duh!

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!
Is my pillow guy a joke to you?
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....?
The American Dumbass himself
but republicans are trapped so far in the twitter bubble they actually think rfk and tulsi is a huge get
