Everyone has a line. Sometimes it's an arbitrary line. Sometimes it's a stupid line. Sometimes it's a crooked line. But there's a line, and apparently, Trump is now bad enough to have crossed Cheney's.

Imagine being more of a ghoul than Dick fucking Cheney.

Yeah this line of reasoning is as stupid as the religious people “world is ending” global warming meme that this trash is stealing from.

The line of reasoning that most people have internal value systems, however grotesque, and act according to those value systems?

Like, I'm not saying Cheney decided that Trump was too mean or too bigoted or too classist. More like that Cheney has decided that Trump is too incompetent, or too in the pocket of foreign powers.

OK but... the whole point of democracy is that you figure out how to work with people that you don't like.

If being on the "same side" with people who you disagree with or personally dislike bothers you... fucking get over it. We can't build a better society until you do.

I mean, OP is still voting for her. I think it's just expressing frustration at the absurdity of the whole situation. It's like campaigning for campaign finance reform, and Elon Musk endorses you. Like, you sit there and say, "What the fuck am I supposed to do with this information? This might be harmful or it might be helpful, but either way, I'm disgusted by it."

Smells like the kind of propaganda designed to stop people from voting against Putin's darling

Wait, I thought it was Liz Cheney who was gonna vote for Harris. She's not a war criminal, too, is she?

Ed: Oh, they both are.

Ed2: Voting for Harris, I mean. Still no idea if Liz Cheney is a war criminal.
