Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

from wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Cheney
"Regarded as a leading ideological neoconservative[7][8][9] in the Bush–Cheney tradition as well as representative of the Republican establishment,[10] Cheney is known for her pro-business stances and hawkish foreign policy views.[11][12][13] She was once considered one of the leaders of the Republican Party's neoconservative wing,[7] and was critical of the foreign policy of the Donald Trump administration while consistently voting in favor of Trump's overall agenda"
So the Democratic party is giving medals to neocons who voted in favor of Trumps policies.
You couldnt make this stuff up. Stuff like this is why Bidens approval was too low to run and Harris got her tail kicked. Their idiot incompetence and hubris is why we will all now suffer.
I'm only surprised it took this long for them to give republicans medals. Hell biden/Kamala were running on bush era policies and ideas while also saying we needed to go farther right...
But yeah it's totally all on the voters.
You people are so fucking transparent with your desperate attempts to place blame anywhere but on yourself. Grow up.
If you're old enough to vote, you're old enough to take responsibility for the consequences of that vote (or abstention).
Our country is filled with idiots because we refuse to fix our education system (and one party just works to break it). The democrats needed to do more than just we're gop-lite but they don't want to win so they never do that.
Ah the classic the party can never fail only be failed
Trans people: "I don't feel comfortable about voting for someone who openly doesn't support life saving healthcare for me."
Mexicans: "I don't feel comfortable about voting for someone who keeps my kind locked away at the border but ignores it."
Black people: "I don't feel comfortable about voting for someone who proudly said 'I'm not black if I don't vote for him' and said to fund the police to roaring applause during police brutality to my kind."
Women: "I don't feel comfortable about voting for someone who defended a rapist to get on the Supreme Court, and hasn't protected my right to an abortion."
Poor: "I don't feel comfortable about voting for someone who ran on a platform of aiding the lowest class, but couldn't push congress for affordable housing, workers rights, or higher wages."
Muslims: "I don't feel comfortable about voting for someone who openly kept selling weapons to people killing my family members."
Disabled: "I don't feel comfortable about voting for someone who has ignored COVID which impacts my kind the most, and doesn't stop states from pushing anti-mask laws to harm protestors and the disabled."
"Yeah but other than all of that, you should vote for this dude who openly hates you!"
Congratulations. You just made better campaign material than the dnc did this election.
Major reason why everyone is so fucking pissed off at how badly Biden and Kamala fumbled the election
And this is the person Harris touted as a win to the people Cheney hurt the most... And said she would be a good cabinet level position.
