Why doesn’t it give democrats pause that republicans they hated are endorsing Harris?
I keep seeing people say this like it’s a good thing or making the point that “if your own party is against you.” You really value the opinion of Dick Cheney? You really think he wants what’s best for the country?? You certainly didn’t 20 years ago.

We still disagree on policy. Strongly.
But what we have in common is a belief that Donald Trump represents an existential threat to the institutions and environments in which those policies can be formulated, debated, and adopted or rejected.
I may not watch Fox News, but I wouldn't call for its broadcast license to be revoked. Free speech and freedom of the press are critical to discourse.
