Is collaborating with another party a bad thing here? Is there a specific type of collaboration you’re referring to? That’s a strange thing to lump in to an argument. This is the kind of partisan bullshit that got us here. A completely dysfunctional system where any cooperation between the two parties is viewed as corruption if not fully aligned with a single party’s interest.

If the collaboration was to harm the general public, then that’s a different story. But a general statement just adds to the vitriol.
