Doesn’t matter. It’s not about them, it’s about who we want to be and what we expect of ourselves. Independents can see what their choices are. They can see what kind of people pols like DeSantis and Abbot are. You don’t win by telling them ‘both sides are just as questionable.’ And yes, there are still Republican voters out there who believe in honor and patriotism more than they believe in victory at all costs. They’re not often shown our side couched in terms that speak to them, and when they have been, it’s been people like Al Franken, who they could dismiss because to them, he’s a comedian, and so assumed willing to say whatever serves the applause of the crowd.
Milley is someone they would not be able to ignore.
It absolutely would.
