For context, Dick Cheney announced that he’ll be voting for Kamala Harris.

    I don’t think that Dick is a fan of Harris, but he’s doing the calculus a lot of voters are doing: voting for the lesser evil.

    Cheney is endorsing his own interests, and only his, and the interests of a wealthy conservative war monger will never align with yours,

    If Cheney and I are both in a rowboat and the rowboat is heading for the rapids, I would say that our interests are aligned.

        The rowboat, with you at the front working your cult following ass off:

        “You’re the only ones trying to do anything about imminent disaster” is not the flex you think it is, lmao.

          this rowboat analogy fails because the interest to survive isn’t at odds with anything. America’s dominance comes at the expense of the well-being of most people in most nations on earth. A disaster to this boat would be tragic for those inside, but a blessing to those on other boats who were about to be torpedoed.
