Tim Miller: 莉兹·切尼公开支持卡玛拉·哈里斯并非偶然,而是她对当前政治局势的清醒判断,她看到了其他对特朗普持怀疑态度的保守派人士不愿公开支持的现象。 Liz Cheney: 鉴于特朗普构成的危险,她将投票给卡玛拉·哈里斯,她认为在当前情况下,写上其他候选人的名字并不是一种有意义的选择。 David Frum: 在当前政治环境下,选择支持卡玛拉·哈里斯是务实有效的策略。许多保守派人士的‘揭示偏好’并未将捍卫宪政民主制度置于首位,他们更看重其他价值观。在面对特朗普时,选择卡玛拉·哈里斯是更好的选择,因为特朗普的替代方案在许多重要问题上都比民主党的方案更糟糕。 David Frum: 一些前布什政府官员对特朗普的沉默,源于他们习惯于迎合权力者并隐藏真实观点,他们没有像我们一样敢于直言不讳。 David Frum: 再次选择特朗普将导致美国法律体系崩溃、放弃乌克兰、世界贸易体系终结以及国内经济的极度浪费和不负责任。 David Frum: 在过去十年中,政治选择至关重要,我们将铭记那些做出正确选择的人,以及那些懦夫、投机者、恶棍和怪物。

Shownotes Transcript

After the decade we've been living through, we will remember the people like Liz Cheney, who have made the choices that really matter. Meanwhile, will the MAGA influencers who say they were unwitting Russian propagandists give their millions back? Plus, Tucker's praise and promotion of Holocaust denialism, Vance's pathological feelings about women, and the continuing tragedy of guns everywhere in America.
