I think it's indicative of just how far right the "left" have gone. We have no real representation.
I think it more that the other option is just that insane. It's not as much a left vs right thing. It's a business as usual vs. Chaos election. Cheney being in favor of someone playing by the normal rules isn't that surprising.
Cheney is an absolute ghoul, but I don't doubt that the neocon stupidity he embraced during the Bush administration was at least partly out of a desire for America to remain 'top dog'.
Trump is sitting here ready to quite literally sell our position to Russia and China.
It's a WW2 moment. The Soviets and the Western Allies join hands, because even though each thinks the other is fucking terrible, there's a more vile foe afoot.
God, I wish I lived in the reality liberals have concocted for themselves.
You're making Trump sound way cooler than he is. He's a less savvy but more enthusiastic imperialist. Ending American (read white, anglo) supremacy does not inspire dread to anyone but weird xenophobes, financial exploiters of the global south, and weapons manufacturers.
I'm supposed to think one of the worst war criminals in human history endorsing your candidate is a good thing because their new guy is...checks notes...NOT PATRIOTIC ENOUGH? Is being the more competent pillager supposed to be an appeal?...while rent, food, and healthcare are unaffordable?
All this rhetoric does is inspires anyone who cares about anything above profit and bloodlust to not vote for your candidate. Meanwhile the people who like this xenophobic shit will vote for the more enthusiastic Republicans.
He's not that cool, but he's greedy.
