14 of 17. We're proud to announce the endorsement by Dick Cheney
Sometimes I wonder if the Democratic party is just stupid. 2008 showed that the American people didn't care for neoconservative war hawks, definitively, case closed. So of course they spent an entire news cycle bragging about it, because apparently they're allergic to winning?
I haven't seen an endorsement so radioactive since Osama bin Laden endorsed John Kerry in 2004 -- and Kerry didn't make that the centerpiece of the news cycle when he got that endorsement!
Perhaps it was meant to show that the current Democrats have bipartisan support on their ticket, but I think that's a really bad kind of bipartisanship to be focusing on. Trump's campaign this year has support of many people who were Democrat darlings. Elon Musk was once the darling of the left until he started speaking out against policies he strongly disagreed with (many people on the left call him a nazi for (checks paper) working to stop government censorship, but that's because they're literally stupid). Tulsi Gabbard was Vice-chair of the DNC and a rising star in the party. Robert F. Kennedy is part of the revered Kennedy Family with deep roots in the Democratic party. Of course these people all became "nazis" the moment they crossed the aisle, but that's because the people lobbing those insults are literally stupid. Cheney didn't stop being Cheney and magically become respected just because he crossed the aisle, and neither did Gabbard or Kennedy stop being the people who were respected when they were democrats. Note that progressives didn't have a bad word to say about Musk when he was single-handedly creating the electric vehicle market.
