In reply to the discussion: I have bad news for the progressives currently beguiled by Liz Cheney [View all]madaboutharry
(42,034 posts)I think democrats reading Liz Cheney's book have no illusion about her ridiculously right-wing world view. Ana Marie Cox apparently is one of those people who will reject sound information based on the messenger who delivers it.
Cox's commentary is an example of how partisanship and tribalism damages this country.
Liz Cheney is by all measure an imperfect messenger. Notwithstanding, her insider view of what happened in the days after the 2020 election forward is important for every American to know and understand.
In multiple interviews that I have seen, when asked if she will vote for Joe Biden, her answer has been "I will do whatever I have to to make sure that Trump never gets near The White House again." I take that as a yes, even though she certainly disagrees with about 95% of everything Joe Biden believes in.
Say what you want about Liz Cheney and her right-wing world view, and there is certainly plenty to say, she has shown that she puts country and our democratic institutions over party. She has done so at great personal sacrifice.
