Former President George W. Bush is facing calls to endorse Vice President Harris for the White House.

As many Republicans continue to buck their partyā€™s nominee and nominate Vice President Harris for the White House, calls are mounting for former President George W. Bush to denounce former President Trump.

The Harris campaign has touted that more than 200 Republicans have endorsed the vice president, including former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and many former Trump insiders. It also includes former vice president to Bush, Dick Cheney.

ā€¦

He noted that Bush is ā€œapparently above such petty concerns,ā€ pointing to recent reports that said he isĀ not endorsing anyone in the race for the White House.Ā Multiple outlets reported that Bushā€™s office released a statement that said: ā€œPresident Bush retired from presidential politics years ago.ā€

ā€œBut it doesnā€™t work that way. When your country calls, you canā€™t just roll it over to voicemail because you donā€™t want to deal with it, especially when you are an elder statesman like an ex-president. Patriotism is for life,ā€ Truax wrote, noting that former President Jimmy Carter said he hopes he can liveĀ to cast his voteĀ for Harris.

    People actually on the left only have one choice,

    If they voteā€¦

    You know the most common reason?

    Both parties are too similar.

    If the party moves left, that disappears and Dems donate, up and down the ballots.

    But we donā€™t do that, when it happens the party fights it as much as possible

    So, where do you think thereā€™s more votes to be gained?

    The incredibly large segment of possible voters who think both parties are shit and donā€™t fight thru red state voter suppression regularlyā€¦

    But will turn out for a charismatic dem who runs a progressive campaignā€¦

    Neoliberal moderates tho. Can barely beat trumpā€¦

    You legitimately donā€™t understand the difference between a campaign like Obamaā€™s to Biden and Hillaryā€™s?

      I understand that the people you want the party to cater to donā€™t vote no matter the options presented to them (as is proven by every free elections in other countries, I know some people have a hard time understanding that other countries exist, but make an effort here) and that even if they did, gerrymandering and voter suppression makes it so they canā€™t flip their State.

      A lot has changed since Roosevelt believe it or not.

        Waitā€¦

        So you think we should ignore voters on the left unless they already want to vote D?

        gerrymandering makes it so they canā€™t flip their State.

        What does gerrymandering have to do with the electoral college?

        Do you think theyā€™re redrawing state lines?

        Or do you just not know what that word means?
