FINGER POINTING: McCarthy tries to shift blame for House chaos to Democrats https://occupydemocrats.com/2023/10/22/finger-pointing-mccarthy-tries-to-shift-blame-for-house-chaos-to-democrats/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
@realTuckFrumper it’s not the Democrats’ fault the House Republicans are being run by a small MAGAt minority…
But that's not factually what's happening.
That small minority has been thoroughly rebuked by the rest of the Republican party. Huge voting proportions have told them to go away.
Except that Democrats voted to back them, to set up the math such that they had an amplified voice.
If Democrats stopped actively voting in their favor, then the small MAGA minority would be laughed out of the room, mathematically irrelevant.
It's only with Democrat backing that they have any say at all in the chamber.
Yes, Democrats are mathematically to blame for that.
@volkris @realTuckFrumper But If the Republikkkans were voting as a block in unison like the Dems, they would have a majority. They need to get themselves together and shut the rabid crazy side down. The Dems just voted to get rid of Qevin because he would not work with them at all. As long as the MAGAts keep trying to put people like Gym who has no interest in working with the other side in as Speaker, the Dems aren’t going to vote in their favor. I wouldn’t either.
Well we know it's not true that McCarthy would not work with Democrats since he arranged the vote with the Democrats to pass the funding resolution.
And then the question of his ouster was explicitly triggered over his working with Democrats, so again, he absolutely did work with Democrats.
That's just right there in the public record.
At this point, Democrats have voted to shut down the House and are continuing to actively vote in ways that prevent the Republican mainstream from being able to get their candidates through, so the Republicans have no choice but to bow to the extremists.
This is 100% a situation caused by Democrats voting strategy.
