Maybe Liz is not on the outs

I do not support the censure, nor do I see 1/6 as legitimate political discourse.

Sen. McConnell, while addressing the censure resolution, said the following concerning the Jan. 6 "violent insurrection":
"Well, let me give him my view of what happened January the 6th. We all were here. We saw what happened. It was a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent a peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election from one administration to the next. That's what it was," McConnell said.

It's just kinda crazy that both Democrats and Republics are pushing the center away.
My natural inclination would be to vote for people like 2012 Romney. I can't think of any good mainstream centrist democrats as an example...
Politics in this country is becoming a sad joke.

Romney nor Cheney are representative of the republicans any longer. They are the last of the old Bush Neocon bunch, motivated totally by getting even with Trump for ousting them. Back then it didn't much matter which party was in the White House, because they were one big snuggled up pile. If Hillary had won, the globalist republicans wouldn't have cared one little bit. But Trump won, and while they had the public at large focused on "oh, he said something rude or mean... bad Trump!! BAD Trump!!" They had been busy lining their pockets with money made by selling access. And NOOOOO, they just couldn't have some outsider come in and mess up all their sweet little deals. They counted on the simple minded public, and the simple minded public came through for them.
The problem is, there were a lot more people smart enough to see through them than they thought, then the democrats overplayed their hand, and as a result any centrist democrats there were began (And continue) to move to the right. We are and always have been a predominantly center right country anyway.
But you're correct - US politics has become a sad joke. Once the republicans get rid of the Cheny/Romney contingent, and once the entire democrat party collapses and dies and a new party steps up, only then can the sad joke end and the adults in the room can begin trying to undo the damage done. The center has and continues to move to the right.
