More than a dozen former Ronald Reagan staff members have joined dozens of other Republican figures endorsing the Democratic nominee and vice-president, Kamala Harris, saying their support was “less about supporting the Democratic party and more about our resounding support for democracy”.

Cheney and bush and reagan's helpers and ... actually ALL of these scoundrels, curmudgeons and assholes - their endorsement of Mrs. Harris after the crimes they pulled and the mayhem they put in motion - fuck them and their endorsements. It's like having john wayne gacy supporting democrats - who wants or cares what that loathsome cretin chimes in about?

The owner class has finally figured out that having the Dynamite Monkey for president would be bad for business.

Democrats are the new Republicans.

I sure hope they don't go that way!

They already are. Present day Democrats have George W Bush era Republican vibes. The Overton Window has shifted far to the right. That ratchet effect always has liberals shifting to the right.

The American left and right have always agreed on the role of the individual voter in the government, and the role of the government generally. They only vary on who they think should be allowed to have rights, and the rights they should have. They generally agree on economics, business, the police, and the military industrial complex. Each of which contribute to the general oppression of the non-rich citizens.

The pendulum seems to only swing to the right.

because the right is on the side of the rich, and they sponsor them so they win

We can see how this is bad right. This is just like proof that the Dems today are what RONALD REAGAN was? Like ... this is a thing we can all see, and by Harris not publicly donouncing these endorsements along with Cheney's there is a problem... like an obviousl problem? we all see this right?

Dems in 1990 were what Reagan was.

Thank you for making my point better for me.
