Kinda funny, but then also, name one active Republican official who would be qualified to be a cabinet member who would also accept what damn well better be Harris-Walz policy on welcoming trans and gender variant employees in their Dept.
I’ll convince my republican friend that he will like this unnamed individual, even though he hates every republican who would ever align with democrats before he knows who they are
We do know that creating permission structures to cross the aisle is important. Saying you’ll appoint a Republican to what’s likely a low stakes job is a low downside way of doing that
I think you can say "I will name the best qualified person for the job so long as they are willing to align with the goals of my administration" without saying "I'll pick someone from the party of insurrection, rogue courts, and forced birth"
Yeah I mean I wanted Shapiro as veep as a low stakes way to jam a stick in the eye of the left. But there were upsides to that other than the stick in the eye. This is just a stick in the eye.
Maybe it's just one more piece of evidence among many that she is not going to change anything from the Biden admin but in a more youthful and energetic fashion.
Yeah but she's talking about building the wall, funding the police, having the most lethal military in the world, and no break from Biden on genocide so she doesn't even need to.

gotta put the GOP guy in charge of the FBI or Commerce. cool, our opponents *do* know better than us dems
The Electoral College system makes you do shitty things.
We can't expect anything different.
(I think i was wrong about Shapiro v walz fwiw)
Harris didn’t start off saying, look, this is my top priority. She shrugged in agreement.
It’s a complete non story.
