As many Republicans continue to buck their party’s nominee and nominate Vice President Harris for the White House, calls are mounting for former President George W. Bush to denounce former President Trump.
The Harris campaign has touted that more than 200 Republicans have endorsed the vice president, including former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and many former Trump insiders. It also includes former vice president to Bush, Dick Cheney.
…
He noted that Bush is “apparently above such petty concerns,” pointing to recent reports that said he is not endorsing anyone in the race for the White House. Multiple outlets reported that Bush’s office released a statement that said: “President Bush retired from presidential politics years ago.”
“But it doesn’t work that way. When your country calls, you can’t just roll it over to voicemail because you don’t want to deal with it, especially when you are an elder statesman like an ex-president. Patriotism is for life,” Truax wrote, noting that former President Jimmy Carter said he hopes he can live to cast his vote for Harris.

So fucking ridiculous Dems are going after Republican endorsements like this while still ignoring the left wing of their own fucking party.
We don’t need republican votes if we give Dem voters what they want to vote for.
It’s just the donors want the same things as republicans, so moderates will always go right for donors
We need to start treating votes as the important part
We don’t need republican votes if we give Dem voters what they want to vote for.
The elector college is based on States, not population.
Right…
And if you want to see someone flip red states more than Obama, you have to go back to FDR…
Progressive campaigns flip red states
We have literally over a century of election data. We know what works.
It’s just not what the wealthy do saying to both parties want.
Are you still confused about anything
People actually on the left only have one choice, people in-between have two, no matter how progressive you go young people (who tend to be on the left) don’t vote (we also have data from other countries to prove that they don’t vote even when there’s parties that actually want to work for them).
So, where do you think there’s more votes to be gained?
We don’t need republican votes if we give Dem voters what they want to vote for.
So this is a bit insightful,
We need to start treating votes as the important part
Of course that’s important, but keep in mind how the Electoral College disadvantages States with large populations and gives greater weight (on a per-vote level) to those voting in smaller states. https://www.vox.com/2021/1/11/22224700/electoral-college-joe-biden-donald-trump-bias-four-points-one-chart
So there’s a need to win over voters in particular states, hence the parties shifts to the “center”.
The extreme left is much smaller than the center. And they already have most of those lefty votes.
It would be stupid to alienate centrists over leftists if you are looking to win.
The “extreme left” isn’t what I’m talking about
I’m talking about 08 Obama who would be a down the middle.moderate everywhere else being our most “extreme left” president and flipping a shit ton of red states blue
Healthcare and 99% of the progressive platform is what the average American wants. Who the fucl.is calling that “extreme” except trumpets and Joe Biden level “moderates”?
When Obama was running for President in 08, he had to say he was against gay marriage, signal his approval of school vouchers because he was trying to appeal to people in the center and republicans who were very, very, very unhappy with Bush.
Healthcare and 99% of the progressive platform is what the average American wants.
Those are hardly the only issues before voters today.
Who … is calling that “extreme” except trumpets and Joe Biden level “moderates”?
I don’t see any “moderates” calling that extreme. I’d say it’s just the former.
I’m talking about 08 Obama who would be a down the middle.moderate everywhere else
Agreed.
flipping a … ton of red states blue
In other words, this is a winning strategy!
