And it's also completely incongruent with her strongest messaging of the campaign. She came out talking about Project 2025 and how Republicans plan to re-shape American society in their extremist image, and that was effective. She was on the offensive and forcing Republicans to scramble to justify themselves. But now she wants to send out some olive branches and work with those same extremists in setting policy?

You and others are making the mistake of equating all non democrats as these extreme view people who can’t be talked to about solving problems. One of the biggest frustrations in the US is the divide in the government, that it doesn’t work together and nothing gets done. Now we have a leader pledging to work together and it’s a bad thing. I guess we should just hope everyone digs the trenches deeper, I’m sure that’s the answer.
If progressives abandon her because she wants to unite the country a bit to work together then they get what they deserve. That’s my general motto, the electorate gets the government they deserve. At this point I’m not sure the US is showing they deserve anything better than Trump.
