Winston Churchill: "If Hitler invaded hell... [View all]

I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil in the House of Commons."

I am reminded of this Churchill quote this morning. When Hitler invaded Russia, he offered Britain's full support to Stalin. After a colleague reminded him that he had always been an enemy of communism, Churchill responded with the above quote.

The reason that I bring this up is that in several threads some are objecting to many of us here at DU celebrating the efforts of some on the right and some on the left who are now supporting Biden. Somehow the people behind the Lincoln Project or former Bernie Bros. should still be shunned and attacked because of past sins.

Sorry but that just seems very short sighted to me. We need all the allies that we can get right now.
