Who is this for? No one likes Bush. He is a war criminal who wrecked the economy. Same with Liz’s pop.
This whole Lincoln project constituency is just political insiders that live in DC, nobody else is changing their vote based on their endorsement. It's so weird that Democrats and the media keep chasing these assholes.
I think there's an underestimate of how a lot of Republicans don't like trump. They're not a part of his maga crowd but they're still dumb enough to think that voting for a Democrat is worse than voting for trump. The support and endorsement of all of these Republicans and the support of the Lincoln project is showing those people who are Republicans and have Republican beliefs that it is okay to vote for Kamala.
a switching vote is worth 2
Stop spreading misinformation dude. I know a guy that likes bush.
Saying no one likes Bush may be hyperbole but it's not "misinformation" since the hyperbole is sufficiently self-evident.
It was a joke
People from his hometown could vote for Harris.
W is from Connecticut. We’re not waiting on his endorsement.
No, he's still liked by some in certain states, generally by the same people who like Liz (although nobody likes her father lol). I could imagine he could even move some older Texans over, assuming they haven't all drank the coolaid. Not much, but if Republicans delivered just one surprise state the resulting tumult would likely shape both parties quite drastically in 2026 onward.
And yes, he's a war criminal so obviously I won't give a shit about the endorsement, but hey, it's not just about the win. It's about making it harder for Trump to contest things later.
i got the feeling he'd rather stay home and paint dog portraits
And I'd support him in that. Bush is hated by both Republicans and Democrats, they've got nothing to gain by courting him. They'll lose more votes than they'd gain.
Sure, but I miss the days when I could just disagree with conservatives instead of fear them trying to push fascism.
Bush was a fascist as well. Post 9/11 any dissent was crushed for years, which is how they got to push the Iraq war through.
People tend to forget just how hard the propaganda machine was swinging then. Remember freedom fries? And how the start of the war was timed for primetime television?
"Free speech zones"
I remember and will never forget the media, politic and the following "french frog white flag bashing" when we told you the reasons invoked for this war were bullshit...
But more important, I will always remember the deadly attacks we got in our country following the global destabilisation you created in the world. They couldn’t access USA so they targeted the Europe instead... Charlie Hebdo, the Bataclan and many more...
I have participated to a retrospective meeting leaded by the colonel in charge of Paris when several sites and the Bataclan were attacked. And how he had to choose where to send the help and how many vehicules he could afford, trying to know if another attack will happens in another site. In this meeting I’ve also heard the phone call of people crying for help and being executed by these fanatics...
Knowing that 6 days before I was in this same fucking place listening Nobuo Uematsu playing final fantasy music... I’m sure you understand why I will never forget that.
I’m lucky this concert was not on the same day of the football/soccer game they initialy targeted but couldn’t due to the enhanced security this day (a minister was there with my company boss and some others colleagues). So they started to travel in the city, shooting at random (like bars) before entering in the concert room and massacre everybody inside...
All of that for the $ of your dear GOP members... The fucking $ you put in all conversations like it’s the ultimate goal of a life. More important than a life... A child life in a school for example...
Please USA, clean your shit, i’m sick seeing the world being impacted by your politics...
Giving Democrats an opportunity to move to the right and gain nothing? No wonder they want his support so badly.
