What policies changed when they courted Republicans? Because as far as I can tell nothing changed for that but they did say that even with our policy differences, Republicans advocated voting for Dems. Dems have lgbtq+ and black people and immigrants and unions and many other groups that don't have a single unifying cause. Republicans have Christian white people for the most part.

They didn't need to, because the Democrats have already been governing like Republicans. Pro-fracking, pro-genocide, pro-"States Rights" to deal with trans people as they see fit, etc.

Admitting that the Democrats are good enough for some right-wing talking heads is a damning indictment of the Democrats.
