I think that's a false equivalency. It ignores that there are different levels to things. Raping a few babies to death is worse than saying that Trump is a bad communicator and says things that he doesn't like.
I agree with your sentiment that we have to be rowing in the same general direction. We differ in that I think Shapiro IS rowing in our general direction. I think it's also important what part of the boat they're in. If Liz Cheney were in some state position in a Leftist state like California, maybe she would be doing some good. But as the head of the GOP in the senate she's positively working against our movement by working against Trump. For that she is our enemy. So context matters. We have to look at every person and every action and say, "Is this getting us closer to or farther from our goal?". For what they have done, are doing, and will do in the future.
I personally don't think Shapiro is selling us out. He espouses the idea of "punching back twice as hard". But he doesn't live it when Trump or we are concerned. I think Shapiro IS America first concerning most things, having listened to him.
I think Mitt Romney is a traitor though. I have changed my mind about Lindsey Graham a few times, and now I think he's probably selling us out. He's too much of a liability anyway. We need him out of the senate. Let him raise money or something. I can't tell if he is an outright enemy or not, he has done too many truly traitorous things to be trusted.
I am on the fence. I kind of agree. It's hard for me to think of anything worse than people in our party trying to take power from us and force us and the country in a direction we don't want to go.
But I also think these people are very competent, and from a pragmatic point of view I have to think they are somehow useful against an enemy that is literally trying to destroy us. I don't know.

Liz Cheney wouldn't even do good in California... neocon Democrats should not be allowed to masquerade as conservatives

Their competence is only useful if they're working in your interest. They will not work in your interest. They don't care if you're destroyed.
