Matt Gaetz declared his intent to follow through on his threatened rebellion against Kevin McCarthy, saying he will file a motion to vacate the House speaker.
The party supposed to walk in lockstep no longer does, so any GOP speaker is destined to fail at this point.
I’m okay with that. Our forefathers assumed that the average person would vote to support their constituents. But instead, we got mofos voting against their own beliefs because “the other team” proposed it.
The Democrats only started playing the lockstep game after Republicans mastered it for decades. And honestly, people breaking rank and forcing bipartisanship and making concessions is what we are supposed to be doing.
There is no way the average American will ever be able to comprehend anything more complicated than “my tribe” vs “not my tribe”
Also ranked choice voting got NYC Mayor Eric Adams. The election took way longer than it should have and they ended up with the "centrist"candidate that should have never gotten elected and disappointed both sides

Yeah but democracy works when all sides are constantly miffed.
