    Seems like he’s in the wrong party. There’s no room for actual conservatives or upholding the law against their own in the modern pro-fascism, post-truth, anti-democracy, GOP.

    Well he sure af isn’t welcome to the Democratic party.

      Why not? Manchin and Sinema are. Mitt invented Obamacare back when it was Massachusetts’ Romneycare. There’s plenty of right-leaning, (or at very least, centrist,) Democrats.

      Not sure his constituency would approve though.

            All they do is stall the system and prevent things that will genuinely help the working class. Want to win against the GOP? Pass meaningful legislation that improves people’s lives. The reason we’re in this mess is because the democratic party is too timid to actually take a solid stance and do what’s necessary against the problems in this country. Having a big tent only makes it more difficult to make meaningful changes. DNC infighting just helps the GOP.

              If we want to move the Overton window leftward and do away with this issue, we need ranked choice voting. As long as we we are first-past-the-post, doing whatever is nessicary to defeat the greater evil is the right move.

              Meaningful legislation doesn’t matter to voters who are willfully ignorant and hateful, who choose to believe outright lies over credible evidence and regularly vote against their own interests. Good governance by the opposition will never be acknowledged by that segment.
