The media is also trying to paint a picture of him as a left winger. But his overall “wing” does not matter when we support him for his message

He didn’t kill the CEO of Planned Parenthood or the dean of a liberal college. He killed the CEO of one of the most evil companies in an evil industry - something we can all get behind

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.

So much for solidarity for the cause

Right. It’s just yet another example of progressive ideas being popular with everybody, so long as it’s pitched in a vacuum without any labels attached. Everybody wants better healthcare. Everybody wants cheaper groceries. Everybody wants privacy in their bedrooms. Everybody wants money out of politics. But most people aren’t paying enough attention to realize that they’re actually voting against these things when they vote for conservatives, no matter what those conservatives pretend to stand for.

Eh, same thing with the democratic party, they at least drop some crumbs but at the end of the day they still answer to the oligarchs
