Are we truly heaping praise on Ms. Cheney for not aiding and abetting sedition?
"Never tried to destroy the Constitutional Republic" shouldn't be a top line entry on anyone's fucking resume.
I'm glad she has the patriotism and spine that her colleagues obviously lack but she is a right-wing Republican.
She has always been a guaranteed vote against everything we believe in.

(3,492 posts)The very lowest expectation we should have for an elected official is to not be a traitor. It doesnt make you a hero or a good person, its the standard, vanilla position.
Shes not our friend, shes not good, shes not a hero. Shes merely not a traitor.

(5,125 posts)WE are strong enough to handle people who don't agree with US.
BUT if people are going to DISMANTLE our Democracy, then if those on the other side of the isle will FIGHT WITH US to prevent that, against their own spin machine, with the near promise of being kicked out of their own party, then the sacrifice they are making to stand with US on this issue MEANS something.
Without our Democracy, we can't convince the people to vote for better policies and results.
If Liz Cheney, Pence, The Lincoln Group, Raffensperger and the rest who are finally telling the truth at the Jan 6 hearings had NOT stood against the tRump war machine, we would not have any freedom to argue across the isle.
Using her vote against US is her right as an elected official. It's the fair way to play the game.
Breaking all the rules and destroying Democracy is not.

They arent really Republicans anymore, but fascists that want an outright dictatorship.
