#Democrats we must start now to take back the house in 2024 and making Hakeem Jeffries Speaker of the House the 24 election started after the midterms.

So the question I have is, well a little bit of background first:

Over the last few days Democrats had the opportunity to have a few of their members answer present to end all of the drama and set up a situation where the Republicans would negotiate with Democrats to get some Democrat priorities into legislation in return for getting past the fringe clown show that we saw.

But the Democrats chose instead to vote unanimously in ways that promoted the fringe and forced Republicans to bow to their wishes, actually putting the fringe representatives into gatekeeper rules that will lock Democrats out of the process.

So, who came up with that strategy? What Democrat decided and convinced the rest of them to shoot themselves in the foot that way? Was it Jeffries?

Someone on the Democrat side needs to be held accountable for that really horrible mistake.

I really wonder what is going through their heads.
Are the House Democrats really so stupid as to miss this opportunity to get a really big say in legislation, or were they doing some sort of really cynical ploy, intentionally setting themselves up for failure that they will blame on Republicans to try to get votes the next time?

Either way, Democratic priorities have been thrown under the bus now. And I am very annoyed about that.

House Democrats unanimously threw themselves under a bus here, and we really need to not forget about that over the next two years.

Every time they complain we need to keep in mind that, well you idiots chose this, and we need to vote you out as soon as possible.
