“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.”
You really, really don’t have to do that.
Really shouldn’t. Dems keep playing nice and extending olive branches while Republicans spit on them.
Franklin Roosevelt appointed a Republican as secretary of navy. Granted, back then the Democrat/Republican divide wasn’t as polarised as today. But if Harris could appoint a moderate Republican and willing to work with Democrats, then that just might work and soothe the current political polarisation.
Why not Liz Cheney, a Republican who can definitely be more moderate than her fellow peers.
Is this sarcasm?
I mean, I won’t hold her to this promise if you guys don’t.

Dems extend olive branches.
Repubs take them, seep poison into the process, then use the sharpened point to stab democracy in the heart.
