Do it. What a great way to ensure Democrats win more elections.

Narrator: They won’t.
If they were going to do that then the election wouldn’t be close in many states three times in a row. Republicans fall in line even when they hate the candidate.

Funny, Liz. I’ve agreed with that since 2003…

Unfortunately for her, every GOP member has become blighted by his mark. Either demonized for disobeying him or damned for acquiescing to his treason.

If conservatives are dissatisfied with the gop, the best way to show their disapproval is by voting blue. Everyone is welcome to help us save democracy
I volunteer the new party to be called DSQPOL, the “Don’t say quiet part out loud” party, because you just know they’ll be going back to the same old shit that lead us to MAGA in the first place.

The schism has already occurred, it’s just MAGA in the Republican party now anyways. Everyone with any kind of moral character has already left them behind, because how can you see anything trump says about other Republicans who happen to disagree with him and pretend that it’s still the Republican party?

You know, Liz, I’d take you more seriously if you hadn’t voted lockstep for his policies while you were in the Senate. TFG did not corrupt the GOP on his own–you helped a lot.

No, this is just the pure essence of conservatism – it’s logical conclusion. Any new conservative party will just be the old conservative party with a new name.

There won’t be a single R on my ballot this year. I’ve voted R since Dick Nixon – until Obama. Can’t imagine ever doing that again. Not sure what happened but that brand is irretrievably damaged

I mean screw Liz Cheney saying it. It’s been obvious that conservatives needed to change their party line every since the new atheist movement. They’ve known, we’ve all known, that the religious people are not as many as they used to be. You can’t run on conservative values and anti-abortion and win anymore. If they really want a leg in the fight, they have to move further to the left. Cuz people are constantly outnumbering them. Doesn’t matter how much you gerrymander the lines, or lie to people in the ballots, or try to confuse borders, their days are numbered.

Split that vote Liz. It’ll allow progressive policies to pass, meaningfully diversify our political landscape, and compel more good-faith collaboration.

The Democratic Party may find itself right of center just to appease these cowards who were too greedy to boot a conman on any of the dozens of opportunities. The constructs of the bicameral legislature and electoral college make a three party system untenable long term. The progressives may need to form their own party to enact real change, also a couple SCOTUS need to kick the bucket.

The GOP made their Faustian Bargain with Reagan then doubled down with W. Their elitist perspective was, “Put a populist rube up and stoke the culture wars to get elected. We’ll handle the rest behind the scenes.” Reap what y’all sow.

Start by voting for a Constitutional Amendment to affirm the right of US citizens to vote. (The right already exists and is mentioned in the Constitution, we just need to force some bad-faith assholes to enforce it).

Agreed, Cruz, Rubio and all the people that have bent the knee to Trump are not Republican they are something worse, the party needs to move on since democracy does not purge people they can all stay, all those fools, Gatez Boebert, Greene all of them are trash……the new party will drown them out.

Totally fine if the republicans split into two parties and the democrats split into two parties. We can have conservative right wing, centrist right, centrist liberal (which is the current dem party), and then true left/progressive. Enough with the two party system. As a leftist registered “dem” im exhausted of voting for candidates that don’t align with my politics and values. And im not alone.
