Yes, but that's pretty damn ironic from people who stole the 2000 election and whose Supreme Court nominees have done a lot to further erode democracy and the power of non-super-rich people in the U.S.

I’d say at this point the Cheney family wants to think they are going to be relevant again.

The worst thing that can happen is that neocons like the Cheney’s are going to recommend foreign policy and war mongering intervention and nation building and that the Democrats are actually going to adopt this.

Remember when Bush said he wasn’t for national building before he ended up being for it with the Iraq War?

Right.

However, being that Kamala Harris grew up in Berkeley as a child, it’s interesting the Cheney’s are giving support for her in light of this fact.

Back in the day at the height of the lead up to the Iraq War, it was Darrell Issa who argued in the House that federal funding should be withheld for Berkeley for trying to boot out the Army office near the city’s Downtown area.
