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!

We need all the help we can get shutting Trump down.
You don't want Liz Cheney's help. This isn't an enemy of my enemy situation, or a lesser of two evils. You'd be trading one bad for a different but equally bad. You want to go back to Iraq and Afghanistan? She'd put us back in Iraq and Afghanistan if she could.
well, she can't. she doesn't even hold office anymore.
you're attributing to her a lot more power than she actually has.
I'm just saying you don't want to trade the swamp king for the swamp princess. That was just an example of the things Liz Cheney believes in.
who's trading anything? is there some timeline where she's running for president? because she's not in this timeline. in fact, she's not running for any office at all.
this isn't some zero-sum game where liz cheney fighting against Trump in any way diminishes us fighting him. we don't even need to ally ourselves with her for her to fight Trump-- she's doing it all on her own and isn't even asking for anyone's allyship. all that anyone is saying is that her doing that - fighting Trump - is a good and rational act. you, conversely, have yet to present any sort of rational counterargument...
There is a concerted effort out there by hard core right wing partisans to prevent an alliance between Democratic voters and true-believing Republicans who actually could agree with progressive or socialist policy positions. Liz Cheney isn't in office, she's being smeared here now because the fascist right can't afford any high profile defections for captured voters to find political refuge with.
You do realize that it's hard for people to sometimes even begin to consider those parts of the world when their own local governments and potentially their Federal governments might just actively and openly begin putting them in jail?
I don't understand. Is this a comment on Trump, Cheney, or the average voter?
