      Ya know, I was curious how r/politics was handling that endorsement

      In years past, they have actually had disdain enough for such an endorsement that they bury it and mock it

      Cheney endorsing Harris was the top overall of the sub for the last week, with many comments such as ‘Even Cheney thinks Trump is evil enough to warrant this’

      I actually felt the blood drain out of me

        Someone linked a thread here the other day and there was a single user repeatedly spamming even mild pushback (only located by sorting by controversial) with “A vote is a vote.” That’s the level of analysis we’re operating on. It doesn’t matter because points are fungible and the blue team is going to score more. Everything else is out the window because of Project 19 2025.

        The age of context is over. Now is the time of the coconut tree.
