Every vote counts but we're basically talking Beelzebub here. So, thanks for the vote and now go join your father below.

there's that old saying:
The enemy of my enemy is, temporarily, my friend.

I'll take the support from those 2 if it helps getting more "sane" repukes to think that they have the cover to now vote for the Harris/Walz campaign on Nov. 5.

The enemy of my enemy is my temporary ally.

Better?

Nobody here is saying to be their friends, but the impact this will have is a good thing.

I haven’t forgotten.

I marched in the rain with our late, beloved AlienGirl against the horrific war those two monsters started. There is no redemption for them.

They just want to oust Trump and are too afraid to do it themselves.

They are cowards and want the Dems to do the heavy lifting as usual.

GOP trashes the country and economy, Dems have to do cleanup.

...that Tommy Lee recently tweeted (Xitted?) out a rather...pointed...message about voting for Harris (and Democrats in general). Hopefully someone here has a link; it has to be seen to be believed. (Warning: strong language)

So, he does the right thing this time....

Does that mean he deserves a medal?

More like, a participation trophy....IMO.

that I can get right now. For that, I'm grateful.

BUT...

Some are "redeemable"; those that were mislead and believed nonsense temporarily, and now see the light and work against the dark.

The neocons are different. I WELCOME their vote, and the votes of those that might follow. ABSOLUTELY!

But I offer them NO seat at the table for policy. Nor do I excuse them for war crimes. Help us win and then DISAPPEAR!
