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.

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.

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.

MODERATORS
It really isn't.
McCain had been doing that since even pre-Dubyah and Romney followed after. It is the idea that they are "mavericks" who are "good republicans" to try and court the moderate voters... except they vote in lockstep outside of MAYBE one or two issues they personally care about.
Liz Cheney tried the same but found the party hated her enough that she basically got kicked out... and we all saw how that ended for everyone.
The fact of the matter is: There are no good republicans. And any who try to pretend they are are just running another grift. Because you don't make it to "senior strategist" without understanding what the party is fundamentally about. This is just another rat who is angry they aren't central to project 2025 who are banking on trump dying and there being a power vacuum.
First of all, stop calling them Republicans. There are no more Republicans. The Republican party is totally dead, replaced by the MAGA Party.
The Republican foundation of Smaller Government, Lower Taxes, Responsible Economic/Fiscal Policy, Family Values, etc. has been replaced by the MAGA foundation of Treason, Corruption, Racism, White Supremacy, Rape, Pedophilia, Violence, Cowardice, Ignorance, Incompetence, and Intolerance.
The Democrats get crazy when a MAGA calls them the "Democrat Party," so hit them back, and make it official that the Democratic Party no longer recognizes the Republican Party, and will never refer to it again in speeches, interviews, campaign literature, etc. As far as the Democratic Party is concerned, it is now the MAGA Party.
Then stick by it, and watch them melt down. They LOVE being Republicans, they are proud of it, after building it up in the Conservative Propaganda Machine for decades as an honorable institution. Many of them have to be uncomfortable with being sidelined by MAGA, and getting lip service from them. They already know that the Republican Party is dead, but they are afraid to say it out loud.
So the Dems should do it, and give the former Republicans, now MAGAs, their worst nightmare - they allowed the MAGAs to destroy the "Party of Lincoln."
The magats ARE republicans. trump is just mask off which is why all the "mavericks" more or less voted in lock step with him until they were ousted. Project 2025 goes back to reagan (and beyond). All those "bush era republicans" wanted this shit, they just wanted to be a bit more "polite" about it.
So no. I am going to keep calling them republicans because that is what they are. Just like I am going to keep calling out the "good republicans".
“But I’m one of the good Nazis!”
And yet, people just can't stop wanting to glaze these "good republicans"
Mmmm, glaze donut...
Maybe if I'm in the mindless mob I can direct it towards good.
Are you saying that Susan Collins sometimes furrowing her brow and wagging her finger is not mavericky enough?
Those are politicians though, that's part of the strategy like you said.
Fundraisers don't do that, they're not the talking heads.
Either they are the most soulless and mercenary sons of bitches on the planet in their ability to cold call, fundraise, and define PR for a political party with no understanding or interest in what the party is about. Or they are core to it and should know.
Either way? They are shit on the bottom of a shoe looking at how to take advantage of the upcoming power vacuum.
