For the first time in 100 years a speaker of the house hasn't been installed on the first vote.
That should have been a milestone claimed by the democrats while rejecting Pelosi.
But that's not what happened.
The self-described "progressives" in the democrat party folded like old deck chairs and re-installed one of the most corrupt and out-of-touch democrats extant without extracting A SINGLE concession, thus setting the precedent for democrats in the house of representatives ever since... never more than performative pointless "resistance" to whatever Pelosi wanted and it shows; even though the democrats held the white house and both chambers of congress they did fuckall for average 'Murican people. As usual. And wasn't that supposed to be her swan song? I seem to recall a lot of noise about her not seeking another term as speaker after that. Until 2021 actually arrived, that is, and the democrats rolled over AGAIN.
What the republicans are now doing is the exact opposite of what the gutless democrats did post-2018 midterms and thereafter.
That's simply undeniable.
