I’m a lifelong fan of political dramas. I watched the BBC version of House of Cards and adored The Manchurian Candidate.
There’s stuff going on in this election that makes everything I ever read seem placid and tame.
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.
There is no middle road politician running. Harris by all accounts is firmly right wing.
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.
California’s top cop is right-wing.
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.
Fascist collaborators are not centrists.
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.
She’s been endorsed by architects of the Iraq war and the US torture program.
Because your daddy is worse in their eyes.
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.
Harris will be good for the empire. That’s it.
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?!?
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.
