U.S. Representative Liz Cheney, an outspoken critic of ex-President Donald Trump, said she is weighing a third-party bid for the White House in 2024.

    Or she could just caucus with the Dems. Have exactly the same official platform, a lot of influence, and show the courage of her convictions by truly rejecting fascism.

    She doesn’t do so because she does not fully reject fascism.

      Yeah her policy platform would be diametrically opposed to a Democratic platform.

        Explain to me what policies McCain advocates for that are so incompatible with the Dem party platform that it can come even close to being a “diametrical” opposition?

        Is it her desire to police uteruses? That’s not an issue the dems have historically cared to do anything about in spite of myriad opportunities to protect the right to control your own body. She’d hardly be the only anti-choice democrat.

        She changed her mind on opposition to same-sex marriage. She’s helped pass gun control packages. The only thing she’s been vocal about is being anti-Trump, and the best way to defeat Trump is not as Republican and is CERTAINLY not as an independent actor. Hell, running third party will probably increase Trump’s odds.

            Sorry, Cheney. Same fucking difference, those two. They’re both snakes that don’t have the courage to do what really needs to be done to put an end to the rise of fascism – abandon the party and ideology of fascism.

              Pretty sure the reason one of them doesn’t have the courage is because he’s dead.

                I’m fine with killing off Cindy McCain, but don’t misgender her.

      She lost her seat, she can’t caucus with anyone.
