I’m probably the minority here, but I appreciate the decorum. It lowers the temperature of the conversation without outright endorsing what he did.
For me, the time to be angry was when it was happening.
Decorum is a massive understatement. Democrats have a civility fetish. During a fascist descent, decorum and civility do nothing other than preserving the status quo. They are obsessed with procedure and elevate it almost to a godlike status. It's also why theyve been losing so hard in recent years. Republicans have no problem employing rhetoric and breaking procedure. Democrats are consistently bringing knives to gun fights.
During a fascist descent, civility = disarmament.
Democrats are consistently bringing tea and cupcakes to gun fights.
Pritzger and Mamdani are winning with the public, and hopefully more candidates will see and follow in their footsteps. They are at least bringing knives and planning to do their level best. But how Chuck Schumer saw Pelosi's husband get his skull fractured with a hammer and still came out saying "I think we can work out a compromise for the good of the country" and similar bullshit is baffling to me.
She could have expressed sympathy for the family without whitewashing his 'accomplishments'.
Kamala saying that he was a great public servant is a spit in the face to the millions of people whose lives were lost and ruined by Dick Cheney's ghoulish and murderous legacy. No civility with war criminals.
Liz also campaigned on Harris’ behalf. It is possible they ate cordial and this is just her saying something nice about a friend’s dad after he passed.
I forgot about that. Good point.
Yeah, I get that. But at the same time, the whole reason I actually kind of like Liz Cheney is that as far as I can tell she has some integrity unlike her father.
She surely knows her dad's a piece of shit. It's almost more cruel to his memory to specifically call attention to everything he did in public political life so that people can laugh at you for lying about it in this over-the-top way. Just say he will be missed and your thoughts are with his family and move the fuck on.
