Former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney to vote for Harris, Liz Cheney says
Former Vice President Dick Cheney will be crossing party lines for this election and voting for Vice President Kamala Harris, according to his daughter.
Cheney was Bush's vice president right?
Democrats being 2000s Republicans is no longer a meme.
Correction, Dick Cheney was Bush's president.
Trump is just too fascist— even for Dick Cheney…
I don't think that's true. Cheney's just not part of Trump's in-crowd. Cheney would go full fascist if he were at the top of it.
Touché
A competent war criminal politician is far more dangerous than a fascist. Historically, fascists burn themselves out trying to kill the left and expand without a sufficient base of control. Liberals like Cheney still employ the most horrific methods of fascism but do so without public opposition that could derail their agenda and with a more stable base of capitalist support. Indigenous peoples in what is now the United States were genocided by these kinds of people and the programs they designed and implemented. The fascists, particularly Nazis, used this as inspiration for Operation Barbarossa and Lebensraum, but were much less effective in their genocide.
And to be clear, Trump isn't really a fascist in this sense. There is no left for him to oppose, he has no fascist program of expansion and his policies were pretty similar to those of his predecessors. He is just rude, opportunistic, and reactionary. These are popular attributes in the United States and have been for decades, centuries. Blaming marginalized groups for all your problems is as American as apple pie and is clearly 100% compatible with liberal democracy. Democrats are currently doing it with euphemisms, they are outflanking Republicans on immigration policy from the right.
A person like Cheney wants to see someone slick like him more competently doing PR for the machine. Someone erratic like Trump throws a wrench into the plans sometimes because he's a self-interested idiot.
Dick Cheney, Welcome to the Resistance!
Absolutely not. His ass can stay shunned for eternity. I don't care if he starts supporting everything I do, the shit he's done is unforgivable
You know libs, when the butcher of Iraq throws his support for your candidate, maybe it's time to accept that you are the baddies.
If I were running for president I would simply reject the genocidal war criminals' endorsements.
Hey this is really well said. Please accept my thanks for your quality work here
More proof the Democrats are blue conservatives. Ranked choice voting or bust. Going bust is okay if thats what yall want, I literally don't care.
Ranked choice voting is a cargo cult. Without changing the underlying structure of who has money and influence in society you're not going to have a democratic system in the first place. Look at what happened in NYC. Ranked choice voting didn't make the dominant class the most populous one. The landlords didn't even have to settle for a sycophant with a progressive mask.
