No. TrackinDaKraken said it best, the first and last paragraphs were fine. The middle one is where she sells out her integrity to tell comforting lies about horrifying crimes, even though everyone can see through them instantly, right at the moment in American politics where the exact polar opposite of that is what’s needed. That’s not being an adult, that’s being an asshole.
Yeah, but we need to be clear, what’s being advocated for by the commenter, and being demonstrated by Harris: it’s not adult behavior, it’s sociopathic behavior.
Cheney was a mass murderer for personal gain. In some ways, you could consider them worse then other mass murderers, whom at least had some misguided sense of idealism guiding them. A million people died and a trillion dollars in US debt were created, in large part by Cheney, purely for personal greed. Not even greed on behalf of a people or nation. just for himself.
It’s sociopathic to engage in the act of redemption for a person like Cheney, and it’s sociopathic to advocate for it. It’s not “adult behavior”, it’s mental illness.
Hagiography of a war criminal is only “adult” behavior to people who want to cast as childish anyone who disagrees with said hagiography, and your comment has no other purpose.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Dick Cheney was a literal war criminal and responsible for the murder of hundreds of thousands if not millions of humans. This is a moment to reflect on the murderous nature of the USA empire and to never make the mistake of letting US politicians do similar shit ever again.
No matter what you think of Kamala, this kind of adult behavior is to be encouraged – no, demanded – of the political class
NO. She should have said nothing at all instead of praising him.
Politicians should generally avoid gravedancing, sure, but not this bullshit.
“Sorry for your loss” and maybe “vice presidents, huh? Yeah.”
that’s it
She went way too far there.
She praised his ‘public service’ which was all 100% evil. If she left out the middle paragraph it would have been fine.
She praised what was praise-worthy: public service generally
This is how you focus on shared humanity, foster inclusiveness, and turn down the partisan tribalism
His ‘public service’ was fucking over the country and starting a war based on lies to further enrich the wealthy.
Not every politician serves the public.
I would argue most politicians don’t serve the public
War crimes so he and his rich friends could personally profit is in no way public service.
Dick Cheney’s entire professional life was 100% against all those things.
Tell me you don’t know anything about Dick Cheney without telling me
this is litterally a sociopathic sentiment
We are done playing that shit. They say whatever shit they want, so we are saying the shit we want. She didn’t say what we all really think.

The time for “adult” behavior has long passed.

Actually, we should not “demand” our political class lionize monstrous war criminals
