and say that I agree that the Cheneys didn't help. I'm not upset that they voted for her, obviously — but inviting Liz Cheney to speak at a pro-Democratic rally was… not the best decision ever made. Most people either hate the Cheneys or have no clue who they are.

Glad they were on our side, but didn't really love their endorsements being touted as heavily as they were. They are very unpopular figures (not just in the eyes of Trumpers, either).

To be fair, I don't think this was even in the Top 5 reasons why Harris lost. I just don't think it helped one iota.
