A couple of points about Liz Cheney. I don't like her policies either. But Congress needs to revert to days past when members of both parties were immersed in policies, debated them, and often compromised in shaping the final bills. At least Cheney has principles and isn't consumed with doing anything to get re-elected. Imagine how the 1/6 committee would be perceived without her strong voice?

That was back in the days of all White men. I’m afraid we’re not likely to return to those shaping-bills and getting-work-done days with a diversely represented Congress. The country’s blazing with racism in this new era. And sexism. And religious antagonism. And xenophobia. I’m afraid those days are way far in the future. If we get to have a survivable future.
Too many members in Congress only care about themselves and staying in Congress for power and greed. They don’t care what their constituents want or what will help the country. Their sworn oaths mean nothing these days.

But, other than the 1/6 committee - still voting with Repubs on other legislation! I agree - lesser of 2 evils, but then?
Exactly.
