Lollllllll....my favorite type of "concerned both sides" troll on the 🐦......glad to see that they are also migrating to the 🐘
With everything going on in the House, the response here is "with the way Democrats are voting, they are giving the fringe the power"
This is what the NYTimes pitchbot used to post as parody on the 🐦 site....lolllll..
@alaric I'm happy to take credit for that post!
Yep, had Democrats not chosen to vote in alignment with the fringe Republicans, they would not have been in a position to demand the extreme changes to House Rules that will assure them a seat at the table throughout the session.
Republicans would have been able to shut down the clowns with a vote of 200 to 20, and they would have been generally excluded from House procedures.
Instead, Democrats kept them mathematically relevant so they were able to demand rule changes that will harm Democrats.
It would have been nice if people spent more time considering the unintended consequences of their strategies.
