“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.”
Same bullshit Obama pulled when the Democrats had control of both houses. God that was frustrating, like watching kittens playing soccer while the clock ran out.
Yes I was a big fan of Obama the orator, but Obama the politician was completely incompetent. The other side mopped the floor with his whole 8 years. I really Hope™️ we’re not going to do that again.
I am willing to bet it will happen again because the US is a plutocracy masquerading as a democracy.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t vote against the most fascist and criminally corrupt — it means you need to universally fight the fascist-sympathizers and criminally corrupt!
Hey, who could question the appointment of James Comey to lead the FBI? What a brilliant demonstration of reaching across the aisle. Plus it recognized (like ALL Democratic presidents before and after) that Republicans were the party of law and order and the Director of the FBI was just too important a job to give to a Democrat. And in exchange for demonstrating his bipartisanship, Republicans dialed down the attacks and were responsible governing partners.
It’s a tactic that worked so well we should just keep doing it forever without ever learning our lesson.
