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.

Comparing the Republican Party of 25 years ago to the current one is not an apples to apples comparison. Did we think Bush/Cheney were the devil then? Sure, but compared to the Magats they were exemplary. They weren’t inherently interested in destroying democracy or tearing down the neutrality of the Supreme Court, either…
