From what I read, She hasn't left yet. She's only considering it. Regardless, she's more liberal than a lot of Hawaii Democrats...
So what?? Every Republican legislator must be more conservative then all Democrats??? Bull*hit...
Yes, the point of political parties is not to be erratic in ideology. I support having strong pragmatic and centrist wings in both parties. But I am 100% opposed to having arch-conservative Democrats and arch-liberal Republicans. Hyperpartisanship is horrible for a society, but some level of partisanship is necessary to have a coherent ideology. The extent to which either of these existed, of course, is grossly exaggerated by high school history teachers so that they can explain to teenagers why the South and North once voted differently and fit it into a day-long unit, LOL.
