I will send her money.
Act Blue? I don't know. Maybe we could make exceptions.
Imagine Liz Cheney holding the line.
The world has gone mad.

2. Cheney is not a Democrat.
You can give her all the money you want directly to her campaign but leave Act Blue out of it.

Great news, I think!

(7,867 posts)And "not supporting an armed insurrection and overthrowing of our democracy" is a pretty goddamn low bar to start supporting Republicans; sure, it's a low bar that most Republicans can't even cross, but that doesn't mean that we Democrats should be supporting anti-Democratic (big D) Republicans just because they aren't anti-democratic (small D).

We support Democratic leaders on this site, not hard-core Republicans whose values go against everything we stand for. Just because Cheney is doing the right thing regarding Trump, doesn't mean we should be throwing money at her to help her defeat our goals. No way!

(16,685 posts)Go to her website and use whatever mechanism is there to donate if you want to give her money. Not having enough money won't be an issue for her.

(54,384 posts)I applaud Cheney for at least HAVING principles, whereas most of her colleagues have none, but her principles are not my principles. Besides, her dad has more money than he or she will ever spend in their lifetimes, so let them put some of it into some dark money organization (Republicans are good at that) and self fund to their hearts' delight. If there is a Democrat in that race, even if he or she only gets 126 votes from all of Wyoming, that is whom I would support.

(31,823 posts)I gave to Evan McMullin direct on his site.
I was on a Congressman Malinowski town hall call yesterday. He stressed the only thing he and Cheney agree on is 1/6 and he trusts her on that issue.
We have a tight race in the 7th - with a leading opposition candidate who pals around with White Supremacists. Give to Malinowski instead ...on Act Blue.
