    Kinna wish Harris had taken him up in his offer of endorsement for an admin spot.

    Take the little vote bump and iunno, shuffle him off to a position where he can’t do any damage? Seems like a good play.

    Instead he’ll endorse Trump. I dunno if it’ll make any kind of impact but why take a chance?

      She would have lost a lot of credibility if she did that. I don’t think it would have been worth it.

        Hmm, good point. The opposition is literally fascism tho, they have no credibility so I’m kinda thinking fuck a high road.

          It’s less about taking the high road and more of not wanting to be associated with someone like that. A lot of people would lose respect for her if she did that. The Democrats mentality is no more negotiating with the far right. Just vote them out of relevance.

      I’ll certainly vote for her as long as the opponent is Donald, but I would be furious if she appointed a conspiracy anti-vax nutjob to any position. The country is in dire shape. The admin needs Khans instead of nepo hires.
