    Time to cut the ads with Bernie Sanders and Dick Cheney talking about how Harris campaign is about saving democracy and more important then conservative/liberal.

    This is unimaginable to someone like me who became politically active during the Bush years. Unimaginable.

  3. All Republicans who are RINO or simply find Trump, Vance, and MAGA repulsive need to come out in public and endorse Harris, if they want to save their party. The only other alternative is to split and form a conservative but democratic political party.

    We have primarily a two party system: Democrats and an extreme fascist party.

  4. For fascism to fail, the left and the center must unite. In this case the right center has joined in. They aren’t voting for Harris for the same reasons many of us are, but the main reason is key: Trump and what he represents must be defeated.

  5. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/06/us/politics/dick-cheney-kamala-harris.html) reduced by 42%. (I’m a bot)

    > Ms. Cheney on Friday tried to frame the joint family decision to vote for the Democratic presidential nominee as something beyond party, one that had to do with country and "Duty." She explicitly rejected the idea of not voting at all, as some conservative Republicans have signaled they plan to do.

    > The show of support from both Cheneys is significant for the Harris campaign, which has been pouring tens of millions of dollars into a paid media campaign targeting anti-Trump Republicans.

    > In her panel discussion with The Atlantic's Mark Leibovich, Ms. Cheney said she would not be acting as an official surrogate of the Harris campaign and said she had not spoken with Ms. Harris since her announcement of support earlier this week.

  6. Cheney is still a PoS but it’s a good sign that old time Republicans like him are siding with Harris. Trump is a tumor that must be excised.

  7. Endorsements like this are a signal to people on their side that it is okay not to support Trump. This isn’t to sway Dems; this is for the non-MAGAs who are left in the Republican party.

  8. Ummm…wait…thank you? Shit, I don’t want to say that…ummm ok?

    I don’t know what to do with my hands.

  9. The literal Devil is voting for Kamala Harris. If that doesn’t tell you what a bag of absolute shit Trump is you’re lost and there’s no saving you.

  10. Holy shit.

    This is actually pretty huge. And when George W Bush announces his endorsement…you bet it will be even bigger.

    I mean the fact that Dick fucking Cheney, a fucking war criminal, is going to support Harris over Trump and Cancun over Cruz is telling you something.

    I have a feeling that that will be what happens.

    Trump is lucky to still be walking around after the shit he’s done to Cheneys daughter. Talk about a guy enmeshed in the deep state.

  12. Crazy how the writers brought back the villain from an arc 2 seasons ago to help defeat the new badguy

  13. We now exist in the universe where Dick Cheney is voting democrat.

    Is an endorsement from W coming? What the hell do we even do with that?

  14. elon_musk_sucks on

    lol I love how the sheep over on r/ CON servative are acting like they don’t like him and he is a rino. MAGA are the true RINOs. You love to see them melt down

  15. It’s time for George Bush to come out and say the exact same thing. W still has a role to play here and there is a very specific subset of the Republican party that he can still reach.

  16. Hilarious that Dick fucking Cheney will now be accused of being a RINO. Dick god damn mother fucking Cheney.

  17. Too shitty and stupid for Dick Cheney to support … and that guy knows how to support shitty and stupid!

  18. This is the best news I’ve heard all day. Not because I like Dick Cheney. But it shows how much Trump has lost the respect of republicans with an iota of intelligence. Dick Cheney is a lot of things, but he isn’t dumb

  19. Ok Dick, you’re welcome in the big tent, but you’ve gotta stand in the corner with Bill Maher
