I understand that and it might sound good but I can’t see it happening with our first past the post setup, you’re still going to see like 95% of House/Senate members being either Republican or Democrat.

Also, Cheney is far from a centrist, she was a rank & file Republican who couldn’t support an insurrection. I respect the fact that she stood up to Trump and believes in democracy but we need to stop painting people firmly on the right as centrists/moderates just because they aren’t as far to the right as others.

It probably wouldn't work, which is tragic.  

My thought was Cheney is willing to break rank, which maybe means she is willing to compromise?  Maybe it isn't being central as much as being willing to compromise.  

I agree with compromise, but doesn’t that already kind of describe the Democratic Party? Look at some of the major bills passed under Biden.

Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act, Safer Communities Act, Honoring our PACT Act, CHIPS & Science Act, Ukraine Defense Lend-Lease Act, Respect for Marriage Act, Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, Electoral Count Reform Act, National Security Act, raising the debt ceiling and funding the government without shutting down the government.

All of these needed bipartisan support in order to overcome the Senate filibuster and had varying levels of support in the House as well.
