Maybe i'm in the minority here, but inviting republicans from the bush years to speak at the DNC isn't actually that reassuring to me if I care about stopping genocide, or think that the US foreign policy as a whole is bad and wrong.
Hell I'd go so far as to say if you invite a ghoul like Mike Pence to speak at your convention, you obviously don't give a shit about LBG issues at all, and are only using them as a shied so that no one can criticize your absolute inaction over the past 50 years on all social issues.
Not the correct attitude. This is an all-hands on deck fight against the fourth reich. Even people who suck for the reasons you correctly list are willing to point out that trump sucks. I don't care if they were republican traitors yesterday if they figured their shit out and are getting the water out of the boat alongside us now.
If the boat gets repaired and stable again, then we can afford to only have less dangerous allies.
Agreed, which is why you must oppose genocide.
I agree with you that the Gaza genocide needs to be addressed immediately and with decisive action, and its deeply disheartening that it might not come unil November, but I do believe it is coming. This kind of human suffering cant be so easily ignored, I find it hard to believe that a Harris presidency would stand idle.
