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.

Man who subverted democracy with the help of his brother and the supreme court…is okay with another man subverting democracy. Startling. ¬_¬
Honestly, it’s much more troubling the amount of people who seem to have come round to ‘George is just a bumbling buffoon but a great guy really’.
Is it just time? Wishful thinking? Or Trump making his presidency seem less destructive - even though Bush was waaaay worse for the planet as a whole? (Obviously that latter part would no doubt be trumped if he actually gets a second term)
People seemed to forget what a ghoul Mitt Romney is too, the instant he denounced Trump that one time. It’s weird, right? And, just because it’s always relevant: Dick Cheney can fuck all the way off.
Do you think it could be because there was some semblance of following the rules when those fuckers were being awful (even if those were rules they changed so recently the ink was still wet, ahem definitionoftorture ahemhem), compared to the outright lawlessness of this lot?

Didn’t you see when he gave Michelle Obama a candy from his pocket? He’s just America’s sweet ol’ grandpa.

George Bush Jr. has the most impressive ability to sound like the dumbest motherfucker in the room always. He should also be tried as a war criminal.
He sure can dodge a shoe though
He did look pretty cool landing a fighter jet on that carrier before those embarrassing photos where he briefly thought the Iraq war ended with Saddam being deposed, too.
He did complete his mission though, getting Saddam for daddy. The rest of the wars were just to allow his industry friends to siphon money from the tax payers, which they intended to go on as long as possible.
Dick Cheney: Ok, I’ll clean up the mess.
Narrator: He said “up” but meant “out”.
yes clean out the mass, clean up the mess, potato, potato
“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”
It’s almost like he didn’t want to be and shouldn’t have been president or something.
I’m sure there’s some principles we can jettison or some vulnerable minority we can throw under the bus that can get him to come around.
Make a decision deciderman.
if only we all could retire from politics.
Bush is doing exactly what he should be doing, hiding like the war criminal he is. The only thing is he has a ranch in Texas instead of a hole in the ground like Saddam.

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?
People actually on the left only have one choice,
If they vote…
You know the most common reason?
Both parties are too similar.
If the party moves left, that disappears and Dems donate, up and down the ballots.
But we don’t do that, when it happens the party fights it as much as possible
So, where do you think there’s more votes to be gained?
The incredibly large segment of possible voters who think both parties are shit and don’t fight thru red state voter suppression regularly…
But will turn out for a charismatic dem who runs a progressive campaign…
Neoliberal moderates tho. Can barely beat trump…
You legitimately don’t understand the difference between a campaign like Obama’s to Biden and Hillary’s?
I understand that the people you want the party to cater to don’t vote no matter the options presented to them (as is proven by every free elections in other countries, I know some people have a hard time understanding that other countries exist, but make an effort here) and that even if they did, gerrymandering and voter suppression makes it so they can’t flip their State.
A lot has changed since Roosevelt believe it or not.
Wait…
So you think we should ignore voters on the left unless they already want to vote D?
gerrymandering makes it so they can’t flip their State.
What does gerrymandering have to do with the electoral college?
Do you think they’re redrawing state lines?
Or do you just not know what that word means?
What are they expecting out of not voting? Do they not care if Trump or Harris win? I just really don’t get why you wouldn’t vote here.
There also were enough people who didn’t vote for or against the NSDAP because they also disagreed with the other parties… It’s not about voting for a party you agree with, it’s about voting for the party with which you agree more / disagree less than with the other parties.
The Cheney controlling him already put in his bid, so he just has to power on his brain long enough to do the same. Only a matter of time. Just give it a minute.
IMO he’s going to do it, just a matter of when.
I did, but that’s because it came from an unknown number and I thought it was about my car’s extended warranty.
I think being openly endorsed by the collective that laid the groundwork for Project 2025 undermines how serious you are about it. But that is just me. Harris is fine with Dick Cheney and the GOP. The shift right continues. Bush is a piece of trash.

Can the Democratic Party stop openly fantasizing that it is the Republican party? Please?
Edit: don’t be mad at me y’all. You DVn MFs are gonna pretend you knew this was a bad sign later on when it turns out I’m right so why not skip ahead to that part now?
You can be ahead of the curve for once
