Talk:Independent Democratic Conference

this needs to be hashed out
Maybe this is the best place to do it rather than over the course of several page edit notes/talks/user talks. Can we have a discussion about the constant disagreements on what the IDC is/what it backs? I see a consistent effort by some to indicate it votes for Republican leaders rather than supports and other problems such as these. It might just be best to come to some sort of understanding on this issue. Due to a potential tangential COI I will refrain from edits, but I think it might be constructive to talk.

fixes to lede
I have made several edits to the lede that I would like to explain here.


 * Changed "is" to "was." The IDC has been dissolved, so the past tense is appropriate.


 * I removed a reference to the number of members of the IDC, as its membership fluctuated between four and eight throughout its existence.


 * I removed language about the IDC and Republicans forming a coalition to give the Republicans the Senate majority. This unsourced language was only accurate during the 2013-2014 legislative session.


 * I removed language about the IDC "support[ing] the Republican leadership once elected." Members of the IDC did not always vote for a Republican as Senate Majority Leader, so the statement isn't fully accurate and is unsourced as well. SunCrow (talk) 11:48, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Lede changes Feb 20
The current page is too confusing. Most people would not get the point - that they were Republicans that pretended to be Democrats for the purpose of winning the election. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Champben2002 (talk • contribs) 18:07, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Your edits were undone and your comment here is very non-neutral and your argument not factual. The article is clear as it is, in fact, it's considered one of the better articles on WP given the above conversation and the Good Article status. JesseRafe (talk) 18:47, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
