Rarely I do think I remember hearing Republicans call something bipartisan to legitimate it, but it’s absolutely true that they aren’t lead by a coalition of people who claim to support X but then make the majority of their platform “compromising” to not do X because it’s important to reach across the aisle. Kamala’s thing about wanting a Republican in her cabinet is something I have never heard anything close to from a Republican (they might take aboard someone who happens to be a Democrat, but they aren’t doing fucking quotas for supporting political “opponents”).
