    I agree, but so many leftists on lemmy have told me they don’t want democrats working with Liz Cheney regardless of her message that we must stop Trump from getting re-elected.

    I wish people would focus less on ideologies and more on solidarity for a cause.

      That’s COMPLETELY different.

      It’s easy to point out the obvious fact that Trump is a fascist who should never have been trusted to run the family real estate company, much less the government of the richest and most powerful country in the history of humanity.

      It’s especially easy when you’ve already been kicked out of the fascist party for insufficient but not nonexistent loyalty to Dear Leader.

      When there’s political relevance and profits in pointing out the obvious, Liz is there in a flash.

      When it comes down to meaningful action, though, Luigi killed the killer and Liz voted exactly like her dad would have, which is “whatever whomever’s in charge of the GOP wants” 95%+ of the time.

      Tl;Dr: Liz Cheney never did anything for the working class and the only time she pretended to, it only served to illustrate how out of touch with the reality of regular people the Lesser Evil Party is.

          That’s what I’m trying to explain to you: to the DNC leadership and the Cheneys, there is no cause. Only a competition and a paycheck.

          Do you seriously believe that Liz Cheney, Joe Manchin, and Nancy Pelosi care any more about the working poor than the likes of Mitch McConnell, Chuck Grassley, and John Roberts?

          Because if so, I have oceanfront property in Nebraska to sell you…

              If it was, they would have listened to the people they had to represent to win rather than the rich ones they represent to get paid.

              Biden said it himself: as long as he gave it a good shot, he wouldn’t feel bad about losing to Trump.

              The minute they didn’t have any money and power to gain, THIS was how much disdain the Bidens had for the fascist dictator–elect:
