The Democrats on the Committee made the deliberate, and very smart, decision to make Liz Cheney the most visible member. They knew her "effective" way of talking would make it much more likely that people on the right would accept as truth what is coming out of the hearings.

I disagree with your inference, if I am reading it correctly, that Democrats as a group are not as effective as Republicans.

But that seems to be the belief of many on the Bulwark.

We really need to rebrand all the diff parties. The Greens are Putin loving fools, the Libertarians are worse, the Republicans don't really exist anymore, And they're left with: Maga-heads, Religious Extremists who want an all White christian nation (lower-case because they are not recognizable as actual Christians), True Conservatives (like Liz and the good folks here at The Bulwark), and NRA ammo-sexuals)... and perhaps a hybrid or two on the edges?

The Left is just as fractured: Extremists, Progressives, Liberals, and Traditional Democrats (like Joe Biden), and some weird concoction of Manchinema? WTF are they?

I wish JVL would start a contest here: Rename all the Parties!!! Then we vote on them. The winners get... BOOKS by Bulwark authors!
