The sad part is this is how people in the DNC must actually think to give these assholes speaking time at their convention when the only commendable thing they ever did was admit to making a mistake most Americans were smart enough to not make in the first place

This is not a great take. This isn't about reaching out to MAGA voters, it's about reaching out to independents. Fox exposure would not have been great anyway.

Go off on sticking to your principles and ridiculing anyone that took longer than you to see the light (you are so smart you probably always had the political views you have), but I am keen to win this election and preserve democracy, which means a big tent with no minimal gatekeeping.
