If Democrats were really sad as they say they are about the lack of a Speaker delaying procedures in the House, then they could have easily either voted for McCarthy or simply abstained in voting against him to allow the election and get things going.
For better or worse, Democrats' votes are complicit in the delay of getting to work.
Again, maybe that's even for the best, but let's not let them get away with pretending they're not part of this process.
That's the opposite of my take.
Again, as I said, their strategy might be for the best.
They just can't pose as if the House shutdown is a terrible thing that the Republicans are doing when they're aligning with the hardcore Republicans to vote against the appointment that would open it.
If keeping it closed is a good thing, then great, they should own it.
@volkris lol. That's a funny take. Yeah, democrats are the assholes for not hiding the loyalty problems inside the opposing party. It's not some kind of joke.
