...do I? Did I miss something?Joe you always argue for the establishment and critisize the people who challange it. Maybe you dont realize you do that.
Any event whatever ails your party a good swathe simply dont like Kevin McCarthy.
For that reason i dont think he should be their house speaker. They should get someone else.
I cant believe it.
Even in Canada the conservatives arent that bad and theyve had some nasty party splits. But they were always able to elect a speaker.
Republican meltdown is a sad spectacle to watch because no one thinks they can govern.
I don't know how capable McCarthy is.
He seemed to be OK.
But he's clearly a crippled candidate already before he's even gotten out of the gate.
That wouldn't set a good footprint for the Republicans moving forward.
The situation in the US with this McCarthy thing sort of has parallels to a parliamentary system like we have in Canada, the UK and others.
That when the incumbent can't muster enough support to govern, then they rely upon a coalition. But if the coalition falls apart, so does the government. So if there aren't enough yays, then legislation can't be passed.
But what is incredible about the Republicans is they actually hold a majority in the US House and they are sabatoging their own governance.
so they are throwing their own mandate away.
Elected officials actually lobbying in the interests of their constituents how dare they
what a sad spectacle indeed
I'm serious @Dove.^^^ Its your comments like this, Joe. Its gives a strong impression that you think it's some "sad spectacle" when it's actually pretty awesome. This is not a meltdown at all. It's the establishment whining because the people dont want the establishment cuck idiot. That's all.
There are several Republicans they could put in there and the people would be good. Never McCarthy though.
I'm serious @Dove.
It's sad that when the Republicans gained a hard fought majority in the House and ran some successful races quite well by ousting the Democrats, now they can't even form a governing force in the US House of Representatives.
I've never seen anything like it.
For sure I've seen minority governments fall apart, coalitions dissolve, but a majority before it even started?!
That's incredible and I do really meant that.
the GOP was given a gift and now they're squandering it.
So in that regard, it is rather sad to watch.
Again Dove, I've no malice against you or your party, just stating what I've seen.
Even papers with no affiliation with the American political system have more or less said the same thing in the UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and India.
And I'm TRYING to help you understand what's happening here.
Okay let me ask you this.
Why would we give up that hard fought for majority by giving up the speaker chair to McCarthy?
Why the fuck would we just give that up and hand it over for McCarthy?
There you go.This would all go way if only we could elect Sam Brinton to Speaker
That's not for me to say, Dove.
And If you read my earlier remarks, I merely stated that McCarthy shouldn't be given the House Speaker role because he does not have the support. So that would appear to support your position that he shouldn't be speaker. Right?
And whether a person likes/dislikes the guy, he doesn't have enough votes..
So it's a No Go.
You and your representatives have clearly made their voices heard so within the realm of American democracy the supporters have the Republicans party have made their choice.
And he'll make sure there are tampons in boys bathroom and legalize the theft of woman's undergarments and luggage too!There you go.
Get somebody you can all agree with let him run with the ball.
Simple as that.
The main difference between republicans and democrats is that when voters get sick and tired of the status quo and elect representatives to shake things up the republicans actually do that while democrats immediately fold after election day and become part of theborgdemocrat collective.
What the republicans are experiencing right now is exactly what frauds and phonies like AOC and "the squad" were elected to do but didn't.
OOoo that's gonna cause some weeping and gnashing off teethThe main difference between republicans and democrats is that when voters get sick and tired of the status quo and elect representatives to shake things up the republicans actually do that while democrats immediately fold after election day and become part of theborgdemocrat collective.
