Kamala Harris has surged in polls since President Joe Biden dropped out and endorsed her in July.

    Ouch. Literally Trump’s mouthpiece.

      When the Mouth of Sauron starts endorsing Aragorn, you know the dark Lord is fucked.

    “We have to purge the Party of people that go against our Candidates, and make it harder for a popular Republican President to beat the Radical Left Lunatics. Geoff Duncan is a loser who is disintegrating on his own.” Trump posted on Truth Social on Saturday, referring to the former lieutenant governor of Georgia who has endorsed Harris.

    What exactly does he mean by “purge?”

    Also, Geoff Duncan:

    In May 2024…Duncan expressed his support in the 2024 U.S. presidential election for Democratic incumbent President Joe Biden, while strongly criticizing the GOP presumptive nominee, former Republican President Donald Trump. Duncan described Biden as a “decent person I disagree with on policy”, which he contrasted with Trump, who he characterized as “a criminal defendant without a moral compass”. After Biden stepped aside, Duncan endorsed Kamala Harris.

    So, what broke the straw on the camels back? Seems really odd this actually happened (not that I’m complaining)

      Think about it. If he gets in, he’s GOING to be dictator. He has the support to order anyone that doesn’t agree with him to be killed. Everyone knows he’s a fucking a moron and they used him to fatten their bank accounts. Now, some that still believe in democracy are afraid they’ll end up dead. Time to support democracy.

      VOTE!! Volunteer to give rides to those that couldn’t vote without it.

        There’s a real danger of the electoral votes being rigged this time around, I almost think people need to call their representatives to make sure that the representatives are aware of this and the representatives call to set up some kind of auditing authority to make sure there aren’t any shenanigans whilst certifying results.

        I don’t understand why there’s not more reporting on this issue, this Rolling Stones investigation is the only source thus far https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-swing-state-officials-election-deniers-1235069692/

      It’s great to finally see this happen but we should all be wary of “good” political news. The headline only says “dozens” of republicans after all. A trolling brigade tactic is to get people thinking “Harris is going to win by such a landslide I don’t even have to vote”

        It is a smart strategy to assume everything any Repub says is a lie or some sort of trick. If they had honestly and integrity they wouldn’t be Repubs.

        No, otherwise they would have had a real impeachment trial for that.

      Keep in mind the level of turnover from the Trump administration. Most of the people who worked for him hate his fucking guts.

        People with Bus Treads on Their Backs for Harris.

      I’m all with you here. But it’s the camel’s back that gets broken in that metaphor, not the straw.

      I think it’s the camel’s back that breaks. Loading straw on top, straw by straw, it’s that one that’s the tipping point of what it can carry.

      I’m wondering the same. They did something similar 8 years ago, didn’t they? George Conway? Or was that 2020? At what point do they just start another conservative party and jettison this one.

      If I had to guess, considering what Republicans are like, I would say spite. I believe that in their own minds, they’re not voting for Harris; they’re voting against Trump. While there are plenty of Democrats and Independents who will also vote against Trump by voting for Harris, like myself, the reasons for doing so are dramatically different when it’s hard R Republicans doing it.
