Except here it looks as if they tired to help in the self destruction. To me it would have been wiser for them to just vote "present". Yes, McCarthy is terrible. Do they seriously think that they will get someone better? And the nation could suffer if we get someone worse.
I won't be too critical, since this is politics, and it has not been exactly clean since the beginning. I just hope that this does not come back to bite them in the donkey.
It baffles me that those who don't even benefit from any of this vote these people in at their own detriment. I suppose that's the true reason behind the LGBT witch hunts and the "woke" moral panic; to give them a bs reason to vote against their own interests.
Because we let the parties tell us what we want instead of vice-versa. Taking sides with political parties lets us pigeon-hole the opposition so we can just vote straight down the ballot for our party without taking any time to see what the candidates on both sides are actually advocating.
Yes, you certainly do.
Bingo. The GOP REDMAP project.
'Gerrymandering On Steroids': How Republicans Stacked The Nation's Statehouses
Republicans today have a majority in nearly two-thirds of the country's state legislative chambers, thanks to a party plan dubbed REDMAP.www.wbur.org
Looks like Louisiana it trying to replicate Alabama's failure.
What does Obama's appointing a justics and lock step of not having a speaker to get the job of Congress done have in common
Did any Democrats vote to retain McCarthy as Speaker? The Republicans believe in Democracy and allow alternate opinions, even against the Republican status quo leadership. This was also how Trump was able to become President and also who Swamp Republicans were able to go along with the Democrat collusion Coup. The Democrats, again, remained lock step like a bunch of Nazi on parade. They will not even allow anyone to run in the primaries, against Biden, less their dictator choice be undermined, and others decide to break goose step.
I'd be surprised if you didn't agree that that's the purpose of conservative indoctrination media. It exists to solicit political support from the people it intends to exploit, and it's been extremely effective. About half of the country seems to be captured by it and trusts its source and message. The technique is always the same - create boogeymen and convince people that they are the reason their American dream never came true, such as Democrats (who are Communists and Marxists and woke), immigrants (who are infected criminals coming for your jobs and most recently to poison your blood). These propagandists call the tune and the susceptible dance to it. Unfortunately for America, that about half of them.
The Democrats ARE doing their job, which in this case is to protect America from a Republican House majority. The Republicans are malicious and destructive. Their agenda seems to be to shut down the government (the brinksmanship alone was destructive), protect Trump from prosecution (they can't, but they can try), and impeach Biden without a case. Since they hold a majority, they can cause maximal damage if they're in accord, and less if they are in disarray and fighting among themselves. What more can the Democrats do when the electorate votes for a Republican majority? THAT'S a huge problem, as is the gerrymandering.
Let that be a lesson. If you don't want a lying, vengeful, low-information, racist, criminal president and the cultural infection that follows resulting in MAGA antics in government and fascists marching in Charlottesville, don't be what you call arrogant or sanctimonious. And what did the left do to justify that description? You'll have to go to Sean Hannity or Tucker Carlson for that answer. I'm sure they explained it on Fox.
This is contemptible. The actual fascists in lockstep were Trump's puppets. The Democrats are unified in their rejection of MAGA politics as are all sensible, decent, patriotic Americans. You should be as well, but somehow were recruited to disseminate garbage like the above, which also no doubt also has its source in conservative indoctrination media. You take unity and first make it seem mindless (lockstep) and then gratuitously throw in Nazis rather than say a marching band.
The Republicans believe in Democracy? The Republicans led the insurrection and attempted to protect its chief architects and protagonists. The Republicans sent false electors to Washington. The Republicans tried to get multiple free and fair statewide election overturned.
The reason there were not more Republicans in the current House and Senate, was election tampering via social media censorship.The Courts have voted to not allow Biden, Swamp and Government to send in the FBI and other members of government agencies, into social media companies, and strong arm them to censor only the content of the Republicans, like they did in 2020. Anything Republican was called hate speech, like saying the COVID virus came from a lab in China. That simple truth would have given Trump an advantage, for seeing it sooner than all the Democrats combined. Democrats may hav known it, but were running cover up.
Why on earth do you think Democrats would intervene in an internecine quarrel amongst Republicans -- especially given that they had voted (without aid to Ukraine) for the Republicans short-term budget bill to keep the government open, only to have McCarthy insult them the very day before he was voted out?
