Biden is Mentally Fit Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 Just now, ChiGoose said: It's weird because traditionally the Dems have been the party of trying to herd cats while the GOP has been much better at voting as a solid bloc. That seems to have flipped in recent years. I think a large part of what's keeping the House GOP caucus in disarray is that they feel beholden to the MAGA wing. We saw this when dozens of them voted against Jim Jordan in a secret ballot after having voted for him on a public ballot. There is no platform, no goals, no ideals. Just a requirement to be completely owned by MAGA. That makes compromise within the party difficult and compromising across the aisle verboten. I desperately wish I could disagree with you. Effing clown show. 1

I was just confused by what he was suggesting, but he cleared it up for me. Based on your history here?

So by not voting present, they bypassed the on a golden opportunity to have this matter resolved, thus contributing to the problem. That’s just great. Open thyne own true eyes, election denier. So nothing, you are just a bull shitter Congrats, that's deep 1

The Republicans acted like little children — “if you don’t vote for one of us we are taking our ball and going home.” It’s not really discipline when Dems, being the minority, had nothing to lose with their vote for Jeffries….anybody can do that… Discipline is knowing your vote might put you in the minority, but you stick to your principles- unlike people like the Squad, who ran on challenging the Dems, but fell in line out of fear…👍 1

I’m talking about when everyone compromises, the little guy tends to get screwed in favor of big corporate donors… I don’t know who will come out on top for the Republican speaker, but it is nice to see some people standing up to the big donor politicians, to protect our borders, reign in spending, etc… Its refreshing to see that there are still people who won’t just bend over to the elites…👍 Edited October 25, 2023 by JaCrispy

The Republicans acted like little children — “if you don’t vote for one of us we are taking our ball and going home.” You mean party partisanship. I wish there were a dozen common sense, do what's good for the country, on both sides. The House would work so much better. The partisanship ruined the House decades ago. The Dems following Gaetz is simply the latest proof of dysfunction.
