Are we seeing something new happening? [View all]

With the anouncements from the cheneys, and the "republicans for Harris" movement, all the individual republicans who spoke at the DNC, etc, it seems like this election isn't going to be red vs. Blue this time.

This election, it's going to be "Americans Against Maga".

A Purple Wave.

Putin vowed to destroy the US when the USSR broke up. Irish_Dem Sep 7 #13

Just want to correct the phrasing: He has been trying to make good on his promise. erronis Sep 7 #34

I agree. MorbidButterflyTat Sep 7 #46

Yes, I suspect Putin didn't count on that. ananda Sep 7 #63

The damage Trump has done to the US is incalculable. Irish_Dem Sep 7 #69

The question is why are so many people, ignorant of that fact, and Walleye Sep 7 #52

The Putin funded media and "newz" ArkansasDemocrat1 Sep 7 #71

I hope you're right & that this includes ruskie ASSets on MAGAts side SheltieLover Sep 7 #15

Magats ARE the ruskie ASSets. Think. Again. Sep 7 #17

MAGATs are some of the ruskie ASSets. The dangerous ones are in Congress SheltieLover Sep 7 #20

Why do you assume those Congresspeople (and others) aren't Magats themselves? Think. Again. Sep 7 #21

They are beholden to pootin. Not saying they're not MAGAts SheltieLover Sep 7 #25

I think being beholden to putin is one of the clues that they ARE Magats. Think. Again. Sep 7 #27

Yes, but they are more dangerous than your everyday MAGAt SheltieLover Sep 7 #57

As well as much of the M$M and the "libertarian" plutocrats. erronis Sep 7 #37

A Purple Wave.... Think. Again. Sep 7 #29

It means 'Save the Republic' Joinfortmill Sep 7 #24

Maybe Trump will get confused and wander off and get adopted by wild boars. twodogsbarking Sep 7 #30

He'd fit right in. Until they make a feast of his corpulence. erronis Sep 7 #39

Republicans created this schism, from Reagan to Trump bucolic_frolic Sep 7 #31

I don't expect many of these crossovers to vote blue up and down the ballot. We *need* to do that. Hermit-The-Prog Sep 7 #61

I agree, we need as many solid Dems at the polls as we can get! Think. Again. Sep 7 #62
