Great listen! As a lifelong republican, the choice I will be making involves many of the items discussed here. I agree that the Harris campaign has found a hole that they can fill and probably will once the election is over. I have heard that people no longer want to be angry at things that are counter to who we are as a country. We know that we are not a perfect nation but pitting one side against the other will not work nor will it help. I believe moderate Republicans will be voting for Harris in numbers that will shut down this MAGA Party and return us to working across the aisle to benefit the people of America and not just the ones who think like them.
I’ve always been “socially Democrat and fiscally Republican,” which makes it VERY easy for me to vote against Trump and for Harris. I really, really hope more Republicans can see the appeal of Harris’s approach.
Ha ha ha! Fiscally Republican!? And you're going to vote for the candidate that favors price controls as the way to fix the economy? Democrats never met a tax increase that they didn't like (much less support). That isn't fiscal conservatism. Just be honest and say that you will vote for anybody but Trump (whom you hate)!
As I asked in another thread here, other than the abortion issue (which is a red herring in the federal election cycle this year since the SCOTUS has returned that issue to the states), name one reason that you are voting FOR Harris and not against Trump. Name one accomplishment she has to her credit.
Trump is not a fiscal Republican. Trump’s tax cuts did not pay for themselves but they did explode the deficit to record levels. Trump was fiscally irresponsible. The Biden/Harris Admin. has decreased those levels. Harris has not proposed price controls. She proposed anti-price gouging rules similar to the laws on the books in many states. And leave it to a middle-aged man (I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt here) to tell women living under total abortion bans and living where OB/GYNs are fleeing their states that abortion is a red herring. “Tone deaf” doesn’t even begin to describe your ridiculous comment on abortion.
As far as reasons to vote FOR Harris:
-Harris was the Attorney General for California, a state whose economy is the fifth largest in the world.
-Harris was a U.S. Senator and Vice President of the United States.
-Harris was tasked by Biden to tackle the root causes of migration from the northern triangle countries. As a result, public/private partnerships committed more than $4 billion to those countries to help mitigate the root causes that make people there feel like they need to leave their homes to come to America. Attempted crossings by migrants from those countries are down sharply.
-Harris has never been bankrupt, let alone multiple times like Trump.
-Harris has not been convicted or indicted for, a single felony, unlike the 34 and counting that Trump has been.
-Harris is not currently awaiting sentencing for felony convictions, like Trump.
-Harris has never been found liable for sexual abuse, like Trump.
-Harris has no companies that have been found guilty of fraud, like Trump.
-Harris has no outstanding legal judgements and debts, unlike Trump, whose legal judgements and debts total in the hundreds of millions of dollars, making him extremely susceptible to foreign influence.
-Harris is not a chronic serial liar like Trump.
-Trump has never incited an insurrection against the United States.
-Harris has hundreds, if not thousands, of endorsements from prominent Republican officials, politicians and economists, including many from Trump’s administration, because they deem Trump unfit to serve and a danger to democracy.
There you go. I have more good reasons if you need any.
Your judgment of my beliefs based on a single comment is rather baffling. I’m voting for Harris because she has won nine-figure settlements for consumers and homeowners against major corporations. She knows how to navigate transnational law and she has prosecuted traffickers and border criminals. She fights for reproductive rights (which you so disingenuously cast off as a non-issue). Harris treats all Americans with respect and vows to have a bipartisan cabinet and advising team to help unite the country. She understands the role of the president has boundaries and will work with Congress to pass bills rather than using authoritarian rule.
My dislike for Trump’s policies and behavior does not mean I don’t also have great hope for and interest in Harris as a president. The two feelings can coincide because humans have a beautiful ability to hold nuanced opinions. Give it a shot.
I stand corrected. Though, I think that if you actually look at the truth of her record, you might see things differently - especially the vow of the bipartisan cabinet. She is a Leftist, Communist, Marxist. She will not have a centrist administration. But you did list reasons that you believe and are voting FOR.
There is nothing particularly Marxist or Communist in any proposals of Harris’s presidential campaign. There is no will in Congress to pass Marxist or Communist laws. Marxism and Communism remains a conservative boogeyman used to scare people off common sense proposals. We survived the last red scare, and there’s no real interest nor policy to even pretend we’re in a current red scare.
I also know many moderate Republicans voting Harris. But I know of more moderate democrats voting Trump. And there is a large group of Independents voting Trump- but would never admit it. Going to be a close one for sure!
It’s so strange that literally hundreds, if not thousands of prominent Republicans, former Republican members of Trump’s administration, Nikki Haley Voters for Harris, former Republican members of the Reagan and Bush Administrations, former McCain and Romney staffers, Republican national security leaders, right-leaning economists and more, have publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for President and literally no current prominent Democrats have endorsed Donald Trump, yet you personally know of more moderate Democrats voting for Trump than Republicans voting for Harris. Very strange, indeed.
What!? No Democrats endorse Trump? RFK Jr, of the Kennedy's of Camelot isn't a prominent Democrat!!!? Tulsi Gabbard, Democrat Congresswoman from the Liberal bastion of Hawaii from 2013-2021. Those two are HUGE! Elon Musk donated to Obama and Hillary, while voting for Biden in 2020. That sounds pretty much like a Democrat to me. He is supporting Trump in 2024.
All of those Republicans you mentioned are has beens or wannabes that personally hate Trump, not necessarily because they believe in Kamala's policies. They certainly aren't names as big as RFK Jr, Musk, and Gabbard.
No, RFK Jr. is not a prominent Democrat, since he left the Democratic Party to run as an Independent. Those two things are mutually exclusive. And as far as Camelot is concerned, the Kennedy family had this to say about the whale-beheading, bear cub-dumping, a worm-ate-my-brain, vaccine conspiracy theorist: “Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment” and “we denounce his candidacy.” Similarly, Tulsi Gabbard is neither prominent nor a Democrat, since she left the party two years ago because, among other reasons, Democrats wanted to weaponize the government to go after their political opponents, which is richly ironic considering her support of Trump. And so what, she’s from a “liberal bastion.” Trump grew up in the liberal bastion of NYC. Is he a Democrat, too?
As for Elon Musk being a Democrat you have got to be kidding. Maybe he professed some support for Dems when his companies were getting billions in government subsidies but as he stated publicly, he stopped voting for Democrats years ago. He may have donated chump change to Obama and. Clinton but he also gave tens of thousands to Republican campaigns and organization. He supported Republican Ron DeSantis earlier this year. His only political philosophy is to support whomever and whatever will benefit Elon Musk and his companies. And yeah, I’ll have to disagree with you that Senators, Congressmen, Defense Secretaries, CIA Leaders, National Security Advisors, former Vice-Presidents, Generals, Joint Chiefs of Staff, FBI Directors, Nobel Prize-winning economists, etc., are somehow lacking in prominence compared to non-Democrats such as Jr or Gabbard. I have no idea what you mean by saying they just personally hate Trump but here is what many of them said: “We firmly oppose the election of Donald Trump. As president, he promoted daily chaos in government, praised our enemies and undermined our allies, politicized the military and disparaged our veterans, prioritized his personal interest above American interests, and betrayed our values, democracy, and this country’s founding document … We believe that the president of the United States must be a principled, serious, and steady leader … We expect to disagree with Kamala Harris on many domestic and foreign policy issues, but we believe that she possesses the essential qualities to serve as president and Donald Trump does not. We therefore support her election to be president.”
Speaking from my personal experience: it's mostly RFK. Many of his supporters are crunchy conservatives but just as many are Dem-adjacent folks who felt disaffected by the Democratic Party. They liked RFK, and when he joined the Trump team that gave his supporters the permission structure to support Trump as well (or at least be able to swallow Trump as the bitter pill that smuggles RFK in closer to power). If you've ever read Jessica Reed Kraus' fantastically poetic and effusive - if not realistic - waxing about MAHA and MAGA, it highlights the mindset quite well.
Yeah, I don’t consider RFK Jr to be a Democrat since he left the party to run as an independent. And I guess I do not really consider Dem-adjacent people who are so disaffected with the Democratic Party that they’d support RFK, to be what’s commonly understood to be a “moderate Democrat.”
IMO a whole lotta folks were radicalized during the pandemic, including those moderate Dems who generally aligned themselves with liberal 'green and clean' initiatives for food, water, etc, but then found themselves under increasing scrutiny (including friendly fire from their fellow Dems) about their vaccine hesitancy and/or support for alternative health practices. The "crunchy to alt+right pipeline" is an observable phenomena - an expanding distrust for expertise and institutions - and I think RFK is just a waystation on that path.
Agree Emily! I have been a huge supporter of RFK Jr for many years. My vote for Trump is 90% because of RFK Jr.
I’m sure no surprise- also love House in Habit.
There is the entire movement of crunchy holistic health influencers and followers who are doing amazing things right now. Really excited about that movement- regardless of who wins the White House.
HIH fully lost me when she relayed that a psychic told her that Donald Trump is suffering exactly as Jesus also suffered, "to do better for us," but I have to admit she does have a gift for evocative prose.
I don’t think you’re that unintelligent so I’m pretty sure you do get the point. I actually don’t understand any supporter of RFK, whose life’s work was protecting the environment, who is now supporting Trump, the guy whose answer to everything is drill baby drill and who believes climate change is a hoax.
I understand that is what you WANT and HOPE to see...but Trump doesn't have a history of being influenced by anyone or anything other than himself and money. People voted for Trump in 2016 hoping that Mike Pence and "good people" in his cabinet would help influence him and bring a balance to his Administration. That did NOT happen, much to the great disappointment of many lifelong Republicans. And now something like 40 of his 44 cabinet members DON'T endorse him in this election. This should sound major alarms. Who WILL he fill his Cabinet with?
I am so excited about who he will fill his cabinet with if he wins the election. Trump has said in interviews he didn’t know anyone when he started in the White House in 2016.
The head of Trump’s transition team has come right out and said that this time around Trump won’t make the same hiring mistakes he made in 2016. This time, anyone who wants to work in the administration must prove their loyalty and fidelity to the man. This is nothing but politics over country or man over principle. I’m sure it’s the same criteria Vladimir Putin and Victor Orban use in hiring decisions. It’s not the American way and it’s why voters will prevent Trump from ever again wielding the power of the presidency.
@themamattorney (on IG & here on Substack) has a great post today about how well RFK and MAHA have manipulated the crunchy moms to cast their votes for a party that consistently deregulates food, air, and water safety, while the Dems consistently have better records on all of those issues, under the belief that he'll actually be able to manipulate Trump into legislation and policies that his own party does not support. I'd highly recommend reading the whole thing, as she's coming from the perspective of a European immigrant to America with the experience of both food and healthcare systems. It seems so, so obvious that RFK is just a convenient source of voters for Trump.
And the important piece there is that Trump won't be creating this policy. He can tell Congress what he wants. But other than the use of Executive orders he will rely on Congress to make these things happen. I'd be interested to see their responses to these proposed pieces of legislation and if they will ever agree to pass it.
Thanks for sharing. I read it and disagree with many of her points but interesting read. I would recommend Dr Casey Means’ book - Good Energy and it really lays out the conflict of interests of the government agencies. It is because of this corruption and general distrust of government agencies- that RFK Jr is appealing to some crunchy moms. I don’t think RFK Jr ever wanted to go with Trump. He has said in an interview that Trump asked him about VP and he said it would cost him his marriage.
Whatever Bari Weiss' political affiliation, she certainly doesn't seem inclined to vote for Trump. Her guests cite antisemitism as a big reason they can't support the Democrats, and while I think that placing trust in Trump is misguided, the far left and the far right are meeting each other with the mask-off antisemitism and Dems have generally been reluctant (could also be read: too cowardly) to call it out, which has clearly lost them some voters. The guests also touch on the economy and Ukraine and believe that both were better off during Trump's Presidency *because* of Trump (others might beg to differ...)
I looked at her publication ( the free press which she seems a big part of) it looks like something straight off of a Russian bot farm and there was lots of conspiracy adjacent trump Strout
It is a right leaning biased publication- Bari Weiss is the founder and former NY Times journalist. Love independent journalism. As Emily mentioned, she isn’t a Trump supporter but also not a Trump hater. Those are hard to come by!
From one of my friends- he likes his policies fiscally and border. Doesn’t think he should he running again, but thinks he did a good job his first term. He voted Biden 2020.

Not sure what your point was, but glad we are on the same page with that term.

Interesting. What do you think the moderate democrat is seeing in Trump?
Trump ardour not Strout!
Interesting- there is a podcast episode on Bari Weiss Honestly- The Democrats Voting for Trump. Came out on Oct 15. Very interesting listen!
Don’t think BW is a moderate democrat. Not a source I would go to but thanks!
It was about the guests she has on the episode. 3 democrats voting Trump. I believe she is democrat, herself.
I managed to find a transcript (the layout is horrible, but at least you can skim it: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/honestly-with-bari-weiss-1971579/episodes/the-democrats-voting-for-trump-226977579/transcript
