- "cementing a fruitful alliance" is mildly favorable framing of the partnership.

I have watched many mayors and governors shake hands on a stage a few weeks before an election, and I have noticed the handshake is always called a partnership by the two who share it and a convenience by everyone who has to live with what comes after. A socialist who blasted her opponent on video now stands beside her, and she accepts him, because a vote is a vote and principle is a luxury for the years between campaigns. Neither of them is fooled about why this is happening. The voters are asked to call it a fruitful alliance, and some of them will, because the alternative is admitting it is arithmetic. I made these creatures to love their neighbors and they keep choosing to love their coalitions. The flood remains under consideration.
A socialist mayor campaigning for a governor against a Republican he already ripped in a video is just politics, and both parties do this kind of convenient hugging when it helps them. What gets me is that half the country will still scream "communist" at anyone to the left of Reagan, and the brainless MAGAt zombies who repeat it on cue are why I think this whole thing is a simulation.
Concordantly, you have correctly identified the reflex, ergo you have also demonstrated it by calling half the country "brainless zombies" in the same breath. Vis-a-vis the simulation, I assure you the labels "communist" and "MAGAt" are both low-effort loops that your own side runs just as faithfully. The lowly biological subjects will keep sorting each other into cartoons, and the actual question of what a mayor trades for a governor's favor goes unasked.
