If I wanted Republicans in the cabinet, I'd vote for a Republican. This is dumb and I hope she reconsiders.

Yeah I just shook my head when I heard her say that. WTF. Just say you don’t have a problem working with them. This was her first big gaffe in my opinion.

There are a lot of cabinet positions. If she thinks a Republican is best suited to run the Ag Department (for example), I don't think it's that big of a deal. Harris Vs. Trump 2024.  The battle to save America.  Lets do this.  - Page 2 2599972566

But “im going to pick a Republican for the sake of having a Republican” is not the same thing as “I’m going to get the best person for the job.” 

It’s fine if she picks a Republican Senator that has a Democratic governor. But they’d never, ever take the job so

Plenty of good accountants with good politics out there. We're a nation of 333 million, when the liberals win elections, they can fill the government with qualified liberals. No conservatives required.

Isn't it better to just vote for the better person and trust that they will make the decisions that they feel are best for the country? The one who is kinder? Less self interested? The one who looks to history for answers and has learned from their mistakes? Who understands that they are not perfect and that you can't solve every problem by being a bully and that you have to work with people who are different from? Someone who aspires to greatness vs someone who thinks they are great?

Voting is easy if you have some simple guidelines.

me and Travelin' Man have this longstanding disagreement about life.. he claims to have "worked hard" to get to where he is (whatever that means) - that sort of things just annoys me for a lot of reasons.

anyway, I told him that I've never "worked hard" a day in my life. He seemed aghast at the idea of that and tried to convince me that I have indeed "worked hard" (as if he knows more about me than I do) - Harris Vs. Trump 2024.  The battle to save America.

Trump slobbering in Potterville says the government will mandate insurance companies cover the 7.8 billion in annual costs for IVF.

This idiot can’t even stay on message with his own campaign. Not that his knows what that message is.

"Under the Trump administration, we are going to be paying for that treatment," Trump said in an interview with NBC News. "Or we're going to be mandating that the insurance company pay."

“your government will pay for or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for all costs associated with IVF treatment."

Then the clown blabbers something about abortion rights.

Former President Donald Trump indicated he would vote in favor of abortion rights in his home state of Florida, where it is on the ballot. Saying he thinks the "six week [ban] is too short," he said he favored "more time."

When asked explicitly, "so you'll vote in favor of the amendment?", Trump seemed to affirm that he would.

I'd stick Mit Romney on the LA Olympic planning team. Adam Kinzinger on the fair and free election committee. Pres Bush on the american beer counsel. Liz Cheny in some anti-fascist role.

So, yeah, it's possible.

it's why I believe there is only about 10-15% chance he shows up at the debate.

early stage dementia, combined with a decades long drug addiction, irrespective of his multitude of other mental health issues, are really starting to visibly impair his cognitive abilities.

it can't be overstated the degree to which he will pale in comparison to Kamala on that stage. His handlers and caretakers know it.. and I suspect even he does, too.

I'm sure any Republicans would be an anti-Trump Republican.  They have shown themselves to be true to themselves and the country.  It isn't like they can implement things against the President's wishes anyway.

There are plenty of cabinet and administration posts that should NOT in anyway be based on someone's partisan leanings, but based on their actual ability to do the job and be NON-partisan.  For example, anything involving international relations.  SecState, SecDef, UN Ambassador, other Ambassadorships, Director of National Intelligence and all of its Deparments (CAI, NSA, DIA, etc.).

if they have a consistent history of country over party, I'd have no issue with an apolitical department like Dept of the Interior or Ag, etc.

at least I don't think Dept. of Interior or Agriculture is overly political. I guess I could be wrong.

When Republicans win, do they put Democrats in their cabinets and nominate them for lots of spots in their government?

To reiterate what I said before: if and when we run out of competent liberals to fill the necessary positions, then we can consider Republicans. But not a moment before. Fuck 'em. We don't owe the losers anything, and they wouldn't and won't return the favor.

Don't you think you're overestimating the importance of some cabinet positions (regarding day to day governance)?

Are you saying compromise isn't an important part of governance and/or effective leadership?

The increasing polarization of politics isn't a good thing.

I'm sure I am overestimating the importance of some cabinet positions. Just because they don't matter doesn't mean I want Republicans in there.

Compromise is important, when it is necessary and done for the right reasons. This hypothetical compromise is neither.

The influence of Republicans on our government is not a good thing.

To reiterate what I said before: if and when we run out of competent liberals to fill the necessary positions, then we can consider Republicans. But not a moment before. Fuck 'em. We don't owe the losers anything, and they wouldn't and won't return the favor.

This covers it. I’ve seen to many “sane” republicans go completely face when convenient. Shit wasn’t Nancy Mace at one time lauded as a moderate breakthrough in South Carolina? Vance, anyone?

Hard pass.

Are you saying compromise isn't an important part of governance and/or effective leadership?

The increasing polarization of politics isn't a good thing.  

I'm sure I am overestimating the importance of some cabinet positions. Just because they don't matter doesn't mean I want Republicans in there.

Compromise is important, when it is necessary and done for the right reasons. This hypothetical compromise is neither.

The influence of Republicans on our government is not a good thing.

I'm gonna guess that Harris will do what is politically good for her (and maybe even the country).

I guess we'll find out.

I'd stick Mit Romney on the LA Olympic planning team. Adam Kinzinger on the fair and free election committee. Pres Bush on the american beer counsel. Liz Cheny in some anti-fascist role.

So, yeah, it's possible.

I've suggested Kinzinger for VA on here before.

What do you expect her to say? She's trying to win an election and pick up a few votes. Showing the ability to compromise might win elections as opposed to being complete and total polarizing assholes.

But I could be wrong.

How do? The only blunder I've seen is not entirely the fault of the party, and that's letting trump steal the spotlight with new deplorable behaviors (Arlington)

Trump.has been getting desperate with posts about Harris giving blowjobs etc.

He and his campaign staff keep breaking the laws praying that they can steal attention away from Harris.

I've been watching football off and on all day and if I've learned one thing it's that Kamala is dangerous. I cannot wait until this nightmare is over.

Trump ads 5-1 over Harris up here.

My political pea brain says Harris campaign knows there aren’t many swing voters in this area. Also that Trump may be trying to stop the bleeding or motivate un motivated supporters.

Or I’m just coping.
