As many Republicans continue to buck their partyās 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.

He noted that Bush is āapparently 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 Bushās office released a statement that said: āPresident Bush retired from presidential politics years ago.ā
āBut it doesnāt work that way. When your country calls, you canāt just roll it over to voicemail because you donāt want to deal with it, especially when you are an elder statesman like an ex-president.

Right? Theyāre actively courting moderate Republican voters, but those voters are to the right of right-wing Dem voters. At the same time, Dem Party is punching down at the left side of its own ābig tentā, giving in to none of the demands asked.
So far the only thing on offer from Dem party to leftists is derision and shame, and while shaming (and Trump fears) might work short term, if the Dem party wonāt budge the leftists will simply leave. Then one morning āmoderateā dem voters will wake up to find themselves on the āextremeā left of the party they thought they knew.
Well, we know R and D have flipped sides of the ideological scale beforeā¦ maybe when the current R self-destructs, actual progressive liberals and socialists can claim the moniker for themselvesā¦.
