More than a dozen former Ronald Reagan staff members have joined dozens of other Republican figures endorsing the Democratic nominee and vice-president, Kamala Harris, saying their support was “less about supporting the Democratic party and more about our resounding support for democracy”.

Someone has a tape of them talking shit out Cheeto dust. Now they fear for their lives. This will be the only time they support a black woman.

I'm amazed that people are offended when someone they dislike chooses to vote against Trump. I understand the concerns about a "uni party", the military industrial complex, Israel, etc., but can we please agree that Trump needs to stay out of the White House?

Think of it as a Venn diagram. It's OK to agree that Trump is bad.

These Republicans are not known for caring about Democracy.

I'm sure that some (many?) Republican politicians do not seek democracy.

People are imagining this like (if you'd forgive the analogy) Dragon Ball Z, where Vegeta is the big villain and we all need to rally around defeating him, but then an even bigger and more evil villain appears, Frieza, so now we team up with the still-evil Vegeta because he's more good than Frieza.

That's not what this is. This is Reaganites tipping their hand that they and the democrats are fundamentally on the same team, they are all part of the neoliberal establishment, and Trump, in his instability, is rocking the boat.

In a letter...former Reagan aides and appointees...said they believed that, if alive today, Reagan would have supported Harris.

Reagan was a fascist ghoul. Cheney is a fascist ghoul.

If you think the trump admin was worse than the reagan or bush admins I'm sorry but you lost me. The dems clearly have no place for anti-war leftists theyd rather court bloodthirsty right wing monsters.
