Just because these signatories come from purple districts does not mean that they are all moderates. (In fact there may be very few ‘moderates’ left in the R caucus: no more kinzinger, Meijer, Herrera Butler, etc.)

But they are digging in for McCarthy, “regardless of how many votes it takes.”

We are less than 48 hours away from the shitshow. Let’s see how things are going.

LetThemFight.jpg is probably correct, but an option for the Ds is to vote for McCarthy to keep him from being pushed right.

47

Step in and save him at the right moment for maximum effect.

48

It’s ok to laugh at me. Lots of people do.

49

Another option is for D’s to vote for a Freedom Caucus nitwit for maximum chaos.

Dems arent going to vote for some MAGA ultra conservative for speaker for obvious reasons.

52

Liz Cheney would only need to peel off 15 Republicans. Assuming ~every Democrat would vote for her over any alternative offered by GOP.

53

They should be willing to consider if it maximizes 2024 electoral success.

54

It wont, which is one of the obvious reasons why they wont be voting for some MAGA dipshit.

55

letthemfight.gif seems so obviously correct here that I feel like Democrats will refuse to do that and somehow get involved.

The Ds will at least be invoked as a threat.

57

Government not working well is a GOP trope, and Democrats (notwithstanding their lack of courage) want to see government working.

If the Speakership lays dormant for a period after the session starts that gives life to GOP complaints of inefficient government.

58

Kevin McCarthy measuring the drapes.

I think the main problem with this plan is that there aren’t 15 to peel off. All the reasonable ones got Cheyened basically.

61

Yeah, I don’t know how many GOP reps haven’t been pizza-gate pilled, but I assumed the answer was “around 10”*. Can’t imagine those folks would feel good with a literal empty gavel representing “Republicans in control”.

*thinking like Ciscomani types here

Now the writers are just making shit up.
