Comment on Do all there former Republican leaders endorsing Harris do her any good?

From a game theory perspective, a trumper discouraged to vote is worth 1 vote, a flipped Republican vote is worth 2 votes.
So the appeal to the right makes sense if it works, because every vote from that camp is also a negative vote from Trump.

But from the other side, an endorsement from Bush and Cheney might flip some Democrats, specifically the Muslims who are already pissed off about the “helping the Gazan Genocide” thing.
Hillary lost my vote by campaigning with Kissinger. If he escaped Hell and went on campaign with Harris I’d abstain again, no question. Maybe just an endorsement could slide but it’d have to be unasked for and she’d need to take a stance on immediate execution of zombies.

Flip to what? There’s no alternative in the US.

At this point the dumbest thing we can do is assume someone else isn’t going to do the dumb thing

Not even getting to his innumerable crimes against humanity, Henry Kissinger killed 300,000 Americans at a minimum just to get a job, something that was public knowledge in 2016.
Blue Maga shitlibs like yourselves should maybe consider whether that might have been personal for a lot of people.

You don’t even know what abstain means.
