...and it's actually Dems who are in the catbird seat here.

The Cheney's are a major feather in our party's cap in this election. It will accomplish snatching many republican and independent votes on the fringes of red areas for Kamala Harris to add to what looks to be another record turnout for Democrats in the blue areas of states.

I also don't see anyone 'celebrating' in acknowledging this coup. It's a reflection of the extremes of the republican party and it's one of the most decisive and real movement away from the republican party (and toward ours) that I've ever seen since I entered politics in the 70's.

If we don't take cold advantage of this it will be a dereliction of our mission to keep Trump out. I can't imagine a more favorable political landscape for Democrats and we don't hurt anything acknowledging that.

You don't influence support and activism with pessimism about our chances. Doesn't make any sense to regard voters like that. Most folks are motivated by the possibility and viability of candidates. That's what we have now. We should revel in this, AND continue to be active.

I really can't imagine knocking on a door and telling a voter that we're being 'set up' by the republican support we're seeing. They'd be like, wtf are you doing here?
