Republicans would vote for the corpse of Trump before even considering not making a terrible decision. I cannot believe that this election is this close. It’s mind boggling that the outcome is currently a toss up between Nazi spray tan confused grandpa and middle road politician.
If he died tomorrow Republicans would be Black-Friday-75%-off-smart-tvs trampling each other to be the one to skin him and wear him so they could continue the coup.
The point isn’t to get Trump into the Whitehouse; it’s to get Vance into the whitehouse.
Trump will legitimately kick the bucket within the next four years, guaranteed. And Vance will be the one to take his place. Vance will be the one who is suddenly an “incumbant” backed by the heritage foundation who is actually reasonably well spoken, able to debate, far smarter than Trump, and younger.
Vance wasn’t “chosen” by Trump, he came as a part of the deal with the Heritage Foundation to get him elected.
My hope is that after Herr Trump finally croaks there will be a power vacuum in the party. Sure if he’s elected and it happens in office there will be an effort to consolidate around Vance, but you know some looked over pissant is waiting in the wings to try to take the reins. If he’s not elected it will likely be much more tumultuous. Here’s hoping.
Trump is a figurehead and mouth piece only, it’s clear the backing and power behind him is pushing him, not the other way around. If Trump is dead or unelectable then they will sub in someone else. Trump’s “saving grace” is that he was good at speaking in a relatable but obfuscating way which worked to foment the masses against imagined grievances, but that’s not a trait unique to him. He is unfortunately replaceable with not much loss in momentum.
Trump supports Putin because he’s idiotic. A less stupid and chaotic leader would be able to tell the difference between someone who gives them a compliment and someone who is a friend to the USA.
It’s infuriating that the election is this close. People were complaining that Biden was too old. A smart qualified candidate took his place, Trump now is having mental breakdowns in public, and somehow, the election is still a toss-up.
Bruh I know the Overton window in the US is megafucked but she’s literally one of our most liberal politicians by voting record, she is not “firmly right wing” by any reasonable standard
She’s in favor of a fascist border policy against asylum seekers, a firm supporter of the fascist Zionist entity known as Israel, and wants to appoint members of the fascist party to her cabinet if she wins. She’s been endorsed by architects of the Iraq war and the US torture program.
Don’t mistake me for a Kamala Harris apologist- she is absolutely a huge centrist in her presidential campaign. I am tired of this false equivalency with the total fascist ilk she’s running against. It’s not useful and it’s dishonest.
She is not a centrist, Bill Clinton was a centrist. With what she’s proposing, her actions, and the endorsements she’s fought for, she’s on par with Trump. She may not say the quiet parts out loud like trump, but her actions speak louder than the words she’s not saying.
I hate to be pedantic but that’s almost exactly the definition of a centrist, someone who collaborates with both sides (even if one of those sides is fascist, genocidal, racist, etc.). And again, I don’t disagree, it’s a bad thing to be for exactly that reason. But it’s also a different thing than being explicitly a right wing authoritarian fascist like Trump is.
A centrist collaborates with the right and left (mostly the right), but fascists are to the right of the right. They’re far right, which is a distinct grouping from ordinary right-wing ideology. Fascist collaboration requires becoming right-wing, just to meet them halfway.
If you find yourself agreeing with Dick Cheney on politics you might want to rethink your positions.
He doesn’t like Trump because he’s a destabilizing element. He agitates the masses against him and does stupid shit for no reason that makes allies and adversarie alike stop trusting the US. He’s bad for business.
What if you find yourself agreeing with Repubs that you should vote for third parties over a Dem? Or is that different because saying so doesn’t support the pro-MAGA campaigning you are here for?
If by right wing you mean not strictly anti-capitalist, sure, at the end of the day shes not going to ovsrthrow capitalism. Still the policies and protections she wants to enact is the furthest left we’ve gone in multiple lifetimes. The last time we’ve had any kind of policy proposal like hers was likely FDR.
FDR proposals, which directly came from a socialist, actually helped the working class. Our wages suck, our labor conditions sucks, our future prospects sucks, and we keep getting told everything is fine. She and democrats are not progressive in action, only in lip service.

Putin is furiously trying to figure out how to put polonium into a Big Mac
This is nonsense. Putin and Trump are allies.
Not if getting him out of the way means a less idiotic henchman.

There is no middle road politician running. Harris by all accounts is firmly right wing.

California’s top cop is right-wing.

Bullshit.
Fascist collaborators are not centrists.

Because your daddy is worse in their eyes.

Harris will be good for the empire. That’s it.
If Dick Cheney told you he thought wearing a seatbelt was a good idea, you’d argue against him because clearly an idea is bad if a bad person has it.
Evaluate an argument on its merits, regardless of who endorses it.
While true, that commenter is a very well known bad actor and provocateur. I recommend against engaging.
Obviously he’s not, like, a chaos demon. He presumably eats human food and all that.
But he’s a monster and should be in prison, not giving endorsements. This is like being endorsed by Anders Brevik or some shit.
She should have rejected the endorsement. Instead she’s embracing him. It’s disgusting.
What if you find yourself agreeing with Repubs that you should vote for third parties over a Dem? Or is that different because saying so doesn’t support the pro-MAGA campaigning you are here for?
This is really weird. You’re happy for Trump to be elected because Cheney is so bad?!?
I will never be happy.No that’s not true. I’ll be happy when the so-called state of Israel is defeated and pays for it’s crimes.
And it will.
Not if Trump is elected, it won’t!
Their new slogan has that prominently on display, Country Over Party

Do those accounts include the one where she just called for legalizing pot?
Or is that a Right position in your mind?
You mean like Biden did 4 years ago? That’s a carrot to lead you to the ballot that they have no intention of implementing
I’d rather have Harris calling for pot to be legal and lying then have Trump saying he’ll be a dictator and telling the truth.
She’s distracting with stuff like pot so we don’t focus on weapons being provided by her and Biden that are burning people alive.
