They instead demanded fealty in exchange for right wing talking points and policies

There was literally none of those.

prancing loathsome rightwingers like Cuban and Liz Cheney across the stage like we were supposed to be impressed

None of them had any impact on policies in any way. So why would NOT welcome the support of the few conservatives who remained loyal to America instead of going neofascist?

It was lunacy

Getting people's support without giving up a single thing in return is the opposite of lunacy.

So here we are, in the aftermath of corporate shill amateur hour.

WTF are you talking about. Harris was going to raise taxes on corporations even more than Biden did.

Getting people’s support without giving up a single thing in return is the opposite of lunacy.

without even challenging your other inaccuracies, its a plain fact that harris slowly bled percentages every day for the whole last month of her campaign. Every day lost ground, which only made her double down on looking for rightwing votes which didnt exist.
