  2. Kinzinger is fascinating. Everything he says about Trump and the GOP, he has known since he started his political career. He became a rep in 2011, peak Tea Party era. Nothing changed. He road it to success. And then it reached a point where he couldn’t tolerate it anymore for whatever reason. It was fine for him and now it isn’t. So now he’s doing what he thinks is the thing to do to correct that.

    But it may be too long gone for that. A person can appreciate what he’s doing, but there millions of people along the way telling him how fucked up the GOP is. He’s still a Republican. How many other topics do we have to battle him on until he sees he’s wrong on those issues to? And he’s willing to have those conversations. Why is it with the GOP that it never is a problem until it affects them personally? It’s maddening that we have to do this dance hoping they come to.

    Same with Liz Cheney.

  3. We have to say this Out Loud.

    I WILL VOTE JOE BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT 2024!

  4. The right hates the shit out of him anyhow so it’s not like it’s going to swing voters.

  5. I’ll give Kinzinger some credit for doing this.

    The election may come down to the actions of a relatively small number of “persuadable” voters in swing states. That includes some who consider themselves to be Republican, and some who consider themselves to be conservative.

    Some of those people helped to put Biden into office in 2020. We need them again now, and more besides – and this sort of message might affect some of them, if it reaches them.

  6. NY Times probably: Republican Kitzinger endorsing Biden shows that Democrats are in disarray.

  7. A rational person who takes in facts, processes them and makes rational decisions?

    Fuckin whoa dude.

  8. Some of y’all simply cannot accept a win without whinging.

    A conservative republican endorsing Biden is a good thing. We want this to happen. We want more people like Kinzinger to do the same.

  9. Is this the first one?
    We’ve had no-Trump Republicans like Cheney and Ryan, but I think Kinzinger is the first to endorse Biden.

  11. Registered independent in NH. Not a fan of fascism. I will be voting proudly for Joe Biden.

  12. We need Republicans and Conservatives with spine speaking out against a craven convicted criminal rapist running for president.

  13. I read that as Henry Kissinger and was like “man, this is how far we’ve fallen?”

  14. That’s how it’s done. I don’t know why, or even whether, he still refers to himself as a Republican, but if there’s enough ethical conservatives to have a Toastmasters club, he can be president of it. 

  15. I read his book Renegade, amazing read. I have immense respect for him and as an independent if he ever ran for president he’d have my vote

  16. I’ve only seen this guys name come up twice in the news i’ve paid attention to and both times it was for doing something right.

  17. Well, yeah, he might be a Republican but he’s not a traitor like the Republikkans.

  18. How many extra votes for B or fewer votes for T does this get?

  19. Any sane Republican should do the same. It’s either Democracy or Christian Nationalism for the U.S. It’s great to see a person of genuine conservative principles and faith endorse Biden.

  20. I actually feel bad for the guy. The one republican who actually has a spine and stood up to maga.

  21. Whether you’re a Republican or Democrat, if you know the man or woman you are voting for is bonkers and bad for the country, it’s ok to go the other way. These two parties are not sports teams! Stop treating them as such! Don’t sacrifice you and your families well being just to be part of a team. You will lose everything!

  22. The balls on this guy. Loved him on Bill Maher. Here’s hoping he and his family stay safe from the barrage of threats about to come his way.

  24. I guess he’s gotten used to the death threats against him and his family by Christ followers.

  25. **FORMER** U.S. Representative.

    It’s never the people actually in office, because that would require a backbone.

    Cowards.

  26. Ya know I’m not a Republican voter by any means. But I’ll say if we had more people running for Office like Kinzinger I’d almost consider voting for them.

  29. I personally can’t stand the modern Democratic Party, and believe Biden is absolutely wrong for this country at this time in its history. But make no mistake: I will be voting for Biden and all the Democrats come November. It’s not even close to a difficult decision
