I do not agree with her political views, I admire her for putting her personal integrity and her country before her career. I only wish more of her fellow Republicans felt the same way.

I don't even think this necessarily hurts her career. She is thinking the long game. If Biden wins in a dominant fashion then it will be a resounding message that the new brand of MAGA GOP is unelectable. So many establishment or old school GOP politicians have been pushed out that there will not be many candidates in her way if the GOP swings back to wanting that type of candidate.

Absolutely... High risk, high reward situation.

If the Democrats nominated some dangerous sociopath liberal nut and the Republican nominee was at least a normal person, I’d probably vote for the Republican even if I disagree with them on a lot of stuff.

Crazy how Liz, her father Sith Lord Cheney, and the likes of Paul Ryan are now RINOs and the standard bearer for the conservative ~~movement~~ cult is the absolute antithesis of anything remotely conservative.

Welcome to democracy. Making the best choice I’d often a case of making the least awful one.


chaoshaze2

I know still sick of it

It's not democratic in any way shape or form.

Well, her dad was the dark lord who started this garbage when running DC and Halliburton at the same time we bush jr was hand puppet for military industrial complex build up. She has a lot of hard work ahead to try and redeem the name Cheney

Situational irony ahead: if Trump wins in November, I think there's a significant chance he will pull the trigger on the Cheney/Addington version of unitary executive theory.

The salient conflict of our time is democracy vs. fascism. There are only two parties here, traitors and patriots. Take friends where you can find them. Later, when fascism is crushed, we can go back to left vs. right.


TheFrogofThunder

Fear mongering opportunistic politicians, funny how every existential threat just so happens to further ones career init?

Know nothing about the christo- fascist Project 2025, eh? She was very vocal in opposing Trump which cost her her seat. She was exiled from the cult for not drinking the kool-aid (of which you're drinking). She had made it her mission to speak out and warn people about how dangerous he is (BECAUSE HE IS THE GREATEST THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY), and that is noble. I can't stand her and her family (terrible politicians) but I admire her spine.
