Why can’t Republican Kevin McCarthy get votes needed to become Speaker of the House?

[QUOTE="Garraty_47, post: 723162, member: 1547"] Absolutely. The democrats had something like 212 votes, I think. Any one of the republicans with at least 6 votes could have been speaker if the democrats got behind him or her. That would have been ruinous to the narrative that democrats and republicans are oppositional parties, though. It's very important that they each have the other to blame for not doing things. Maintaining the illusion of OurTeam/TheirTeam is pivotal to, the very cornerstone of, the ongoing scam that is 'Murican electoral politics. In asking for the concessions list I mainly want to get a general idea of how much the democrats *might* have accomplished in 2018 & 2020 if they weren't all such spineless performative shitbags.
