I don't think you're the target audience of Barbara Bush or People magazine
For a younger, moderately conservative woman who sees Trump for who he is, this sort of endorsement can give them cover to vote for a Democrat
I don't think anyone on Lemmy is the target audience.
Wouldn't this also make her the first of the Bush family to endorse Harris?

It’s about getting out the vote.
Why y'all hating on this woman cause of who her dad is?
All hands on deck. All who denounce nazis are on the team. Those who refuse their help are not.
We'll see where we're at after you all vote so that kamala wins.
I'm at least one anti Trump vote in Florida...(Harris and none of the federalist judges, ) I'm trying to turn the tide
Thank you for your efforts. I’m in GA and proudly voted for Harris. Doing my part as well, one week will tell if it made any difference.
One in Ohio. (And a pro Sherrod brown vote as well). I want my state to swing instead of my body
And Texas here. Trump does not represent all of us

Before people bash her because of her dad:
She is doing this
She spoke out as pro-gay marriage
She also headlined a Planned Parenthood fundraiser in Texas.
She seems to keep her politics quiet, however these public displays land her on the right side of things. I don’t know her and don’t care one way or the other what side she’s on, I just want to be sure she’s getting a fair assessment without her dad’s shadow hanging over her.
I agree, makes no sense to hold someone accountable for other people's views and actions, if she's willing to stand up for her own views that's all it takes.
I’d argue that what she’s doing is even more admirable, simply because it’s super fucking easy to fall into the “my parents voted this way so I do too” mindset. Pretty much every small town in America is full of people who were steeped in hate while growing up, have never known anything else, and fully plan on continuing the family tradition when they have kids of their own. It would be easy for her to just keep her head down and coast along on her father’s coattails. But she has actively refused to do so.
Shit! She's 42?!? Who hit >> on life? Fuck I'm old.
If Kamala doesn't get the Dubya endorsement I am not voting for her. I only listen to the worst of war criminals for political guidance.
Kissinger is dead; will you accept Cheney?
The equivalent of "Is Pepsi ok?" in American politics
Who is this for? They're acting like getting endorsements from the families of Bush and Cheney is like getting an endorsement from Ronald Regan, but Bush and Cheney were not popular at the end of their administration; they started two interminable wars and ended with the largest recession in recent history. Trump cut his teeth in 2016 by trashing George Bush and curb-stomping his brother in the primary. Conservatives who are still open to Trump probably aren't huge fans of the Bush family! All this is doing is demoralizing the progressive base and showing conservatives that the kind of Republicans they rejected in 2016 support Harris.
This stuff does get traction with the late election cycle undecided voters. Obligatory undecided voter sketch from SNL.
So this aged great, huh?
