Totally fine, politicians change their views. The more concerning thing for me was this:
The Democratic nominee also revealed that she would name a Republican to serve in her Cabinet if elected
Why?!? The people give the president power by voting them into office, the president wields that power on our behalf. Now would not be the time to share our power with the party that doesn’t believe in democracy. I can’t think of any good reason to voluntarily give a cabinet post to the other side, bipartisanship is not the point here.
Yeah, I don’t think she’d ever choose a maga nut, but as much as I respect Kinzinger and Cheney for standing up for democracy I do not want them in the cabinet. They still have wildly different political positions than Harris.
All this, minus the respect part. The only thing different between them and the MAGAs is they have the small amount of intelligence required to know that in the long term Trump is going to hold them back and diminish their own power. This does not change the fact that they have been, for decades of their adult lives now, members of a political party that’s been implicitly and explicitly traitorous bigoted and anti-science since at least the mid 1960s.
DNC invites Republicans to the convention, because somehow former fascists voting is a good look
Harris talks about inviting Republican officials to her cabinet, because she agrees with literal Republican supporters in 2024
If Harris doesn’t appoint them, that’s good. If she tries to play to the genocidal fascists by adding them to her trusted team of officials, she’s more willing to work with them than the people they will hurt. Personally, I’d never work with the Neo-Nazi Party.
Is Harris a Republican? Nope. Is she willing to work with them? Yes, and any amount of leeway to the “Let’s bring Trump back to Office” Party is too much.

There were Republicans who spoke at the convention last week. She probably means Republicans like them, not MAGA ones.

True that. Respect is probably too strong a word.
because Democrats and Republicans are bedmates out to enrich their own coffers
neither of the “two” parties is for the people
Yeah, you’re apparently up to date on the global issues plaguing the world. /S
yawn, you really need new material.
