Huh. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] geekworking@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago (2 children) It's not spine.

Pence is almost 65 and after his dismal showing in the primaries has probably decided to quit politics. So he has a little more leeway to speak out. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago Mitch McConell is 82, can comfortably expect re-election indefinitely, faced just as much threats by the MAGAts during J6, and is still endorsing Trump. I'm not one to say that Mike Pence is a good person, but he's taking an unpopular step against his party on his own principles. It's kind of "a broken clock is right twice a day," but I will applaud a shitty person standing up to a really shitty person. permalink fedilink source parent [–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago Fair point. permalink fedilink source parent [–] takeda@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago A spine would make him endorse Biden, this is more of "he actually tried to murder me, I won't endorse anyone then". permalink fedilink source parent [–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 1 point 2 years ago I mean, he was threatened with hanging permalink fedilink source parent
