He’s neither to you, only to himself and his interests.
Again - no matter how you people try to twist it to make yourselves feel better about it - Cheney is endorsing his own interests, and only his, and the interests of a wealthy conservative war monger will never align with yours, no matter how much you try to convince yourself otherwise (accidental alignment doesn’t make one an ally, unless you also want to reach for Hitler as your example and justification, but be warned, you too will reek of pathetic desperation lmao).
You see trump as the embodiment of fascism (when in truth he’s only a symptom), while Cheney sees him as the loose lipped child giving away the fascist family secrets. He’s not endorsing dems because he’s no longer conservative, he’s endorsing dems because they make him feel safe and looked after, and if that isn’t enough to tell you where “blue no matter who” leads, I have bad news for you: you’re a fully fledged member of a cult. Just like a maga cap wearer - voting against your own interests because it’s “your team” no matter how many red banners they wave in your face and blaring alarms they ring in your ears.
this rowboat analogy fails because the interest to survive isn’t at odds with anything. America’s dominance comes at the expense of the well-being of most people in most nations on earth. A disaster to this boat would be tragic for those inside, but a blessing to those on other boats who were about to be torpedoed.
There’s a huge fucking difference between friends and allies.

I don’t think that Dick is a fan of Harris, but he’s doing the calculus a lot of voters are doing: voting for the lesser evil.
If Cheney and I are both in a rowboat and the rowboat is heading for the rapids, I would say that our interests are aligned.
The rowboat, with you at the front working your cult following ass off:
“You’re the only ones trying to do anything about imminent disaster” is not the flex you think it is, lmao.
