If you would have told any Dem in 2002 they'd be voting for the same person as Cheney in 2024 but it wouldn't be a Republican they'd say you were nuts but here we are.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Funny to think that there's a very real chance that no living president or vice president will be voting for the Republican candidate this race. Even the living Republicans - W Bush, Cheney, Pence. Hell, even Dan Quale probably won't (considering he advised Pence to certify the 2020 results). And as for past living GOP presidential candidates (e.g. Romney) they probably won't be either.
This was bouncing around work:
Interesting. Short and sweet
Remember, people: There is no way to prove whether or not he will actually vote for Harris. It's easy to say that if you're just looking for attention because there's no way to prove if you're lying.
Him saying he's voting for her probably has way more impact than his actual vote though.
Valid point.
No matter what he says, I'm still voting for her.
I don’t know what’s worse: This or Goldman Sachs endorsing her.
I hate how politics makes these jerks my bedfellows.
We need warm bodies to vote blue, that's it
Well this is an unfortunate reminder that Dick Cheney is still alive.
How's that guy he shot in the face doing?
It's ok I just care about his vote. He can die after he pulls the lever just stay alive long enough to vote.
Oh wait that's a trump line...
“Alive” is a strong word for someone with a robotic heart and no soul.
Alive, but voting Democrat.
Ruminate on that a moment.
still on the strangest timeline possible. we did it, lemmy!
I will not celebrate Darth fucking Vader himself deciding to give a child a cookie
Oh staaahp. Tue timeline JUST got interesting, and you gotta be all Bantha-stank about it.
Just sit back, have a Toke & a smile, and watch. (Also, vote!)
When even Dick Cheney thinks Trump is too fascist....
Ain't that the truth...
