dedicated his entire career to fucking the poor
Hyperbole is a rhetorical device which should be used with care.
Whatever his faults, McCain was someone who was able to treat those who disagreed with him with respect and sought to rise above tribal name-calling and invective. Unlike some people on this thread.
Brommers-
One example is his voting against the repeal of Obamacare.
He knew he would be vilified by his party for it. He did it because he thought it was the right thing to do.
You can see videos of him casting his vote. Mitch McConnell is behind and looks like he wants to kill McCain, right there on the floor of the Senate. -
oh please go ahead and show me how his record stacks up of fucking the poor vs not fucking the poor.

boring centrist fence-sitting should be used with care lest we end up with a resurgence of the ultra-right in mainstream politics. oh whoops.

Here's a catch 22 for you - what if what I think is right is to get myself constantly re-elected?
What you seem to be saying is that a person's politics is meaningless as long as they believe in it. If it's "childish tribalism" to oppose an imperialistic racist who dedicated his entire career to fucking the poor then call me a childish tribalist I guess.
