She lost her position in the GOP to stand up against a criminal. Stood up for democracy rather than power. I don’t like her politics but admire her courage

I welcome her efforts, and agree with her that Trump is a cancer upon the party.

But Trump is not some invader to the party come to conquer. He is the natural product of a brand of political narcissism that she's supported and espoused her entire public life. She's like a tobacco executive with metastatic lung cancer, who has suddenly realized that cancer is bad but doesn't think people need to stop smoking. They just need to cut out the cancer, and then they can go back to enjoying the smooth taste of Conservativism.

She's brave to go against the party. She's smart to recognize the opportunity she has to reclaim control of the GOP by helping Kamala and the Dems. If Trump loses, and the Dems take the House and Senate, she can point to the loss and say "See, I told you so." But anyone that falls for that line has a very short memory.

We must take wins where we find them.

This headline is a fucking mess, man

[–] Signtist@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Eh, it's just removing unnecessary words as most headlines do. "Cheney says Republicans (that are) against Trump but (are) not backing Harris (are) ‘not (doing) enough’"

[–] lemmyman@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

IMO at least one of those omitted words was not unnecessary

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

Yeah it took me an unnecessarily long time to parse this headline tbh. Partly got tripped up by the idea that ‘republicans against trump’ was some kind of group or organisation.

Feels dirty to agree with a Cheney
