Punish Dems! When it's members of his own party who did this to him - and he refused to even negotiate with Dems to save his job!! And he proved over and over he couldn't be trusted!!!

It smacks of when a marriage breaks up due to cheating and the faithful spouse blames the other woman or the other man instead of the spouse.

Or when the non-cheating spouse if blamed for breaking up the family by not accepting the cheating.

They aren't bystanders. The DNC funded extreme right candidates in the midyears and now the Ds teamed up with the hard right to boot the speaker. How can we see them as neutral?

aw.. poor babies. Maybe if the R side didn't have so many cukoos this wouldn't have been a problem for the Rs.

Rs dug their own grave here. Dems just handed them the shovel.

Every single dem voted with the 8 cuckoos. The government will get shut down, kids won't eat, and TSA won't get paid.

If only McCarthy had been willing to make a deal with the same people who bailed him out of the exact scenario you describe only the week before.

McCarthy didn’t want democratic votes. He said so plainly. His allies— per politico— begged for them, but he was not willing to work with Democrats to keep his job.

Dems are not responsible for the cukoos.

Do you really think Rs would vote for a Dem house speaker? Why are you putting this on Dems? The Rs house is in disarray. That's the Rs fault. Take ownership of it.

Typical Rs to blame their stink on others.

Dems funded far right candidates in midterms. How do we know they aren't behind Gaetz too? They voted for this. They are on record. No one is going to vote for Jeffries. And the R options are further right than McCarthy.

More people voted for Jeffries in January than for McCarthy in October. If Republicans in the “center” really fear the cuckoo option, they will get the chance to do so again. How likely do you think that is?

So what? Were they lying about the candidates’ positions? No. The republicans flocked to ten most right wing candidates with or without the democrats help. This is what the republicans believe and this is why we are here.

Why is it only Republicans that are responsible for rooting out extremism, while the left can fund them and form a voting block with them?

Why is it only Republicans that are responsible for rooting out extrmism IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY??? ummmmm... because it's their party!

Yeah but it's our country. Supposedly democracy is at stake. But not enough, apparently, for the left to make a nihilistic suicide pact with the far right.

McCarthy supported the insurrectionsists, voted against certifying the election, voted against aboirtion rights, voted against Ukraine - he isn't a friend of Democracy and he didn't want the dems help. What exactly are you expecting?

Honest to god - what are you saying? That voting for democrats is somehow not a thing we can do without being in bed with the right wing crazies? No democrat believes that Kevin McCarthy should be speaker. Elected democrats didn’t vote for him in Jan and they didn’t vote for him in Oct. The democrats opinion usually doesn’t matter when they are the minority party. But now, somehow they are supposed to vote for a speaker that nobody who elected them wants to save the republicans who don’t know how to govern from themselves? Really?

All those Republicans concerned that democracy is at stake can choose a sane option, and vote for Jeffries, no? Problem solved, there will be no further drama until the next Congress is sworn in.

Oh you don’t think they should do that? If you didn’t have double standards, you’d have no standards at all.

F all y’all Republican. Every single one of you need to be locked in a looney bin

Democrats are not going to vote for any Republican for Speaker without institutional changes. It isn’t just about the Speaker. The House is almost evenly split, about 51/49, but Republicans have 9/4 control of the Rules Committee which determines the terms of debate and whether amendments can be offered on the floor. Republicans have a 34/27 advantage on the House Appropriations Committee. So Appropriations will report partisan Republican bills and then Rules won’t make Democratic amendments in order, so they can’t even get a debate and up or down vote. McCarthy stacked these committees with partisan Republicans to push their dumbass agenda. None of that has changed.

The White House is not the only place where this made an impression:

Democracy's not at stake. The Republican Party is at stake. If you can't tell the two apart, you're part of the problem.

We'll have a speaker as soon as someone acceptable to 50% of the House is put up for a vote. We can do it the easy way or the hard way. We already tried the hard way so maybe let's do the easy way this time.

Now you care about those things? Just because McCarthy got booted?
