    Are you a troll or dumb? They’re not endorsing her because they like her policies. They are endorsing her because she isn’t actively trying to subvert our entire government. Yes, even a monster like Dick Cheny endorsed her but he stated that he doesn’t like her, he just hates her less than he hates Trump.

      Wow what’s with the hostility?

      No I am not a troll. These are geniune concerns, have you asked yourself these questions? Not too long ago these people were for Trump and his policies. As late as the 2020 election, They’ve endorsed him before. ( Don’t say that the Insurrection changed their minds. Cheney and W would like to have a word)

      Right now the image of the Republican party is MAGA. There is no changing or escaping that. These evil fucking people see that. If they go down with that ship there is no possibility for them to have a large base behind them and their opinions in the future.

      The Democrats have been Neoliberal for forever. You really see it not as a possibility for them to shift to the right even further? It’s been gradual but it’s happening.

      There is no need for the Democrats to bend to the whim of the people, they are in a really good spot right now compared to the Trump campaign. They placate us with issues like abortion. Then become bloodthirsty on issues like Israel. Even straight up ignoring us on home issues like healthcare and wage growth.

      I mean fuck, Kamala ran on Medicaid for everyone. How quickly she turned on that when the writing was on the wall for her to become the nominee. Now she’s advocating for similar policies as Trump “no tax on tips” for example. It’s fucking exhausting. I am tired of this reach across the aisle bullshit when there is a large untapped left wing base the Democrats refuse to reach to.

      Am I saying she’s worse than Trump? No. However, my brow gets raised when these sorts of people are advocating for her. When Republicans are invited to the DNC to speak. These people were celebrating taking women’s rights away. However it’s an issue so unpopular it has completely screwed the party over in the long run. Yet the Democrats welcome them with open arms.

      Friend these people endorsing her are the very same people that caused us to be where we are and get us a radical president like Trump. Do you really think they are remorsful?

        You get what you give. If you don’t like it. You’re free to behave differently.

        Anyone using the term “blue maga” in any capacity other than to call out and ridicule those using it seriously. Are either dishonest, trolling, and or uninformed. Worse if they do it hypocritically from a Leninist associated domain.

        You can, and I do generally dislike liberals. But also be honest about them, and work with them where interests align. Which yes, even as someone ideologically libertarian/anarchist communist it definitely happens. Actually more often than my interests align with leninists. Who unironically and proudly just sentenced someone to more than a year in prison that over a fucking shirt because of course that brain rotted ideology would.
