“I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it’s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences,” Harris said. “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”

    Diversity of thought is very important.

    Sure, Jan.

    Putting a fascist in a position of power creates diversity of thought in the same way that polluting a river adds flavor to drinking water.

    We can have diversity of thought without indulging fascists. Germany’s been doing it for almost a century now.

      Cabinet positions are advisory and have little actually power. And not everyone “who was a Republican” is a fascist.

          Perhaps my bolding and italics wasn’t enough. Was is in the past tense. As in not currently.

            I have bad eye sight, so yes, it wasn’t, but that’s not your fault. Thanks for clarifying.

            The downvoters can eat a dick.

            Also it’s a sad fact that a lot of people here in the US think we can’t have true freedom of speech if we don’t let Nazis and fascists get equal air time.
