For context, the author is one of the more influential members of the Federalist Society, the right-wing judicial takeover group. If you’ve lost him, you’ve lost a huge chunk of people who have historically funded the Republican party patronage machine.

    Polls indicate Trump has overwhelming approval among republicans.

    There’s only like 10 of those mythical never-trump moderate respectable republicans, and every single one of them has a job writing editorials for NYT and other liberal media.

      Yep, they’re only alienating democrats by trotting these people out. You should go out and show that both parties aren’t the same instead of platforming people that say Kamala will further the goals of the American Empire and won’t get in the way of the further hollowing out of the judiciary.

        Dems literally couldn’t have given republicans a bigger gift than abandoning any message of progress or materially improving people’s conditions to chase <10% of the republican base. Republicans are campaigning just by associating the democrats with the policies of the republicans they keep trotting out to represent them. https://xcancel.com/OS26/status/1850299840627921180

          I don’t know what ads you’re seeing, but basically every ad I see for Harris is about materially improving people’s lives 😅

              Not entirely sure why you’re being downvoted to be honest.

              Also not entirely sure I follow exactly what you mean, I think there are a couple ways that comment could be interpreted. But I don’t really see why folks are downvoting you 😅
