“I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it’s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences,” Harris said. “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”
For the better, right?
Yes, pushing the GOP away from trumpism by working with someone who is willing to compromise will be good for the country because Republicans will always exist and it’s better that the ones with power are not insane.
I wonder if Democrats will ever compromise with the left, instead of capitulating to the right and announcing that everyone should be happy with their compromise.
Not until we fix campaign finance and get more representational voting.
They were engaging in the behavior I described before Citizens United.
Yes but I figure by the time we fix those two, the old guard will be entirely entombed next to their carefully preserved bad faith bipartisanship glands in canopic jars.
Your time frame seems optimistic.
There was a compromise back in 2020 in order to get Bernie to drop from the race, hence we got a rejuvenated labor board and some labor wins. But we didn’t get there without applying pressure, which is why the uncommitted movement is so important.
