Your concerns are valid but all the Rs coming out like this is more about how terrible Trump is and less about anything else. Don’t underestimate how many moderates there are in both parties and these Rs help there - progressives need their votes. After Trump is gone, we can hopefully go back to trying to improve the voting system, pushing Dems more left and hope that anyone on the right exchanges some of their selfinterests for social interests - but that’s best we can dream for.
Your feelings don’t matter.
Trump has a 43% favorable rating, and there’s a good chance he could win in November.
Even after the Nazis had taken Paris, there were French monarchists who felt they were too good to unite with the Communists in the Resistance.
When the Dems have an unbreakable, veto proof majority in Congress and the Senate, and the White House, then we can start to pick and choose.

Create an unbreakable veto-proof majority of Romney Staffers and you’re going to end up with an unbreakable veto-proof policy written by Romney Staffers.
I haven’t seen Harris take a step backwards yet. The Romney folks are accepting her as she is.
If you listened to Harris’s acceptance speech at the DNC, its definitely becoming a two-way street with these neocon ghouls. She’s accepting their endorsements today. And she’s going to start taking their advice tomorrow.
Blah blah Trump Worse Blah blah. But Harris surrounding herself with the Bush/Cheney crowd does not bode well for our foreign policy going into 2025. And I’m not exactly bullshit about our economic prospects when Mr. “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt” is whispering in the next President’s ear.
i mean look bro i’ll welcome whoever admits the faults of the republican party, we’ve got a low bar set here. We gotta take what we can get you feel me?
actually, on second thought, don’t touch me.
they don’t exactly have much of an option here. They either support the trump campaign and do a little bit of silly, or they support the dems which won’t do much if any silly.
Regardless, any republican willing to fence sit this hard on this election cycle is likely going to be a decent person anyway. They probably won’t have a ton of support for the dems, but it’s a good sign that we have support from republicans so i’ll take what i can get.
I also think it’s extremely unlikely that any of them actually get any significant say outside of the standard voting procedure. They’re unlikely to line up perfectly, but again, any support is support.
Although i would kill for a pirate impression in the government, not gonna lie.
Too bad. We’re watching the death throes of the GOP, and the Dems will stay right to continue courting the hemorrhaging right-wing voters. It’s just another little reminder that after electing Harris, leftists will need to continue to organize to form our own pro-labor party.
and if anyone wants anything done in congress, then we’re going to need compromise and coalition building because neither party is getting a supermajority any time soon.
