    People weren’t welcoming Dick Cheney’s endorsement of Harris?

        No, Duke is a huge piece of shit, but Cheney has done immeasurably more harm to the world.

        Edit: Ah, I forgot that to liberals, it is a greater sin to be an (uncouth) racist, than it is to be the architect for the deaths of a million people.

              I know your type. Smugly deriding anyone with an ounce of realism in their brain

                I know yours: smugly deriding anyone with an ounce of principle in their heart.

                  Where “principal” is “knowingly driving us toward a future we claim to oppose”

          If one has more power, they are likely to do more harm in the world, regardless of how shitty they are of a human being. While I have no love affair with Cheney, he is not the absolutely piece of human garbage that Duke is.

          You think that people here are defending Cheney, but really it’s you defending Duke.

            What the fuck? Duke is a piece of shit absolutely, but Cheney has done real fucking harm to the world that you can measure in dead children. Cheney is worse by far.

              Go out and do an informal poll of the people you know and ask them who they think is a worse human.

          Right. Meaning if this wins over a few old school republicans, cool. Zero democrats like or welcome the ideologies of people like Cheney. Which everyone here knows.

            Right. Which is the same as what I suspect you’d say if it was David Duke endorsing Harris too.

              That’s a moot point because it would never happen. Duke shares goals with Trump/Stein and none with Harris.

                Lol. Cheney and Harris share the goal of wholesale war and slaughter in the middle east.

                    Haha oh noooo. I’ve been blocked by someone who can’t face the fact that genocide matters to some people.
