The Democratic vice presidential candidate dropped by ‘The Daily Show’ and chatted with host Jon Stewart about football, gun control, and making room for Republicans in the Democratic Party: “They don’t have a home anymore,” said Walz.
The “center” has run to and supported her so they’re getting what they want. If the left wants anything you have to get in the tent first. There’s a reason Bernie ran in the Democratic primary. Keep our democracy and work on shifting left via primaries and ballot measures. Otherwise we’ve got an R dictatorship and I’m not rich enough or white enough to deal with that.
Who is the Dick Cheney/Liz Cheney constituency though? Whose opinion will be swayed by the former VP of a deeply unpopular administration at its end? Or by a former Congresswoman with a infamous last name?
This is a nice-to-have for Democrats, but is it actually moving the needle with voters? Is it actually changing minds or increasing turnout? Harris and her advisors certainly think so, she’s out there campaigning with Cheney actively, but where is the movement in the numbers, cause I’m not seeing it.
Yea I feel the same way. People not taking it seriously enough think they have the power to get something by not voting for Harris or Trump beyond an ego boost. So many folks today think they have morals and not voting because they think Dick Cheney is somehow going to suffer for a Trump win is beyond me. For example, Hasan. He is safe in his state of California because HE KNOWS that CA is FPTP and Harris will win CA so he writes in Bernie because his vote has no power. But trying to pretend its a moral stance is a joke and cowardice.
In other words: Yes, Stalin is a murderous dickbag who won’t let us use his territory to bomb Japan and steals every piece of technology we send him but we need him to beat Hitler.
Rational people understand it’s an emergency, and we need to have the biggest tent with the most people in it.
Just not big enough for the left, naturally.

Exactly. As long as they dump them as soon as they win. The thought of having a Cheney in the Harris cabinet is unacceptable.
If she wins, there will suddenly be a ton of “former” MAGA that are suddenly “center-right” and ready to cooperate.
Remember when Obama tried that?
Which is why we’re gonna completely ignore the sizeable uncommitted movement and probably the entire state of Michigan.
