    I have seen absolutely no evidence that the Harris campaign is even trying to rehabilitate Dick Cheney’s image. The argument “Trump is so fucking crazy even DICK fucking CHENEY is scared of him getting power again” is a pretty solid argument against those that might be leaning towards Trump.

    That’s who it’s targeted at. It’s not going to work on someone left of center, but it’s not supposed to. That’s why she’s also talking a lot about her economic plans and abortion rights.

      Nah. The Cheney’s can go back to Jackson Hole and fuck off. Or they can be arrested for war crimes.

      War criminals are an important part of US history and its current population so we need to accept them.

        They’re useful tools, as is the Lincoln Project, for example. Once the existential threat in Trump is gone it’ll be back to business as usual and their MO will be “oppose meaningful change without enabling a monster to take advantage of us again” again in no time. Trump is such a unique and unhinged threat that they resent what they’ve created, and in an equally unique moment of self reflection, created the Never Trump movement. But longtime allies to leftists, or even liberals for that matter, they absolutely are not. There’s no ambiguity around it.
