Who didn't see this coming...the Swamp protects it's own...

[Concerned American]

I am against a very small minority trying to oppress the very huge majority. The 5% shouldn't be getting their way over the 95%. It was never supposed to be like that. Now, if you want to talk about more closer percentages, then I agree with you. If we had 125 voting for McCarthy and 100 voting against, I don't think the majority should run roughshod over the minority.

That is where a consensus candidate should be determined. The 200 are being as much "my way or the highway" as the minority who is obstructing. McCarthy is a lousy candidate. Move on and find someone acceptable to both sides. Scalise?

How many Republicans do you think should have voted for Hakeem Jeffries?

none of them are there to represnt any party,, they are there to represent the people of their districts,,

you are in favor of that arent you?? the party represents group think that always leads to oppression,,

 

[ozro]

LOL. Sure.

That's the fact of the last vote.

That is parallel to what controls the nation today. And one of the reasons we are in this situation are the RINOS.

There are 20 voting against McCarthy and 202 voting for him.

You are not the majority. You don’t represent “the people.”

I don't think you have a firm concept of the definition of "election".

You are referencing an authoritarian concept termed "selection".

It a common mistake among statists.

AOC floats 'coalition government' after McCarthy fails to win House speaker vote

Progressive New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said a "coalition government" is one option Republican leader Kevin McCarthy of California must consider if he can't win enough votes to be House speaker.

How can you call it a Coalition Government when they are all members of the Uni-party?

Lol, this is so awesome. The Republican Party has become the key stone cops. Gotta love watching the Republican Party get owned over and over again.

Those few will only be happy if a far right candidate wins. Everyone else will be unacceptable. It is either their way or the highway. They are trying to force the 200 backing McCarthy into accepting someone further right than McCarthy.

So, you want to get rid of the RINOs so you can oppress them and everyone else.

"Your true colors keep shining though..."

McCarthy's theme song.

Rep. Matt Gaetz on GETTR : Another day, another lie from Kevin McCarthy. Just weeks ago, Kevin McCarthy promised me and the entire House Republican caucus that he wouldn’t seek Democrat votes to secure the Speakership. In fact his people said it

Another day, another lie from Kevin McCarthy. Just weeks ago, Kevin McCarthy promised me and the entire House Republican caucus that he wouldn’t seek Democrat votes to secure the Speakership. In fact his people said it was a “doomsday scenario” if this were to happen.

If the far right Republicans would vote for McCarthy we wouldn't get to this point. We shouldn't allow just a handful of people to take our democracy away. According to them, it is either their way or the highway, scorched Earth. Voters gave the House to Republicans and now a small handful of radical Republicans are wiling to throw it away.

Shut up and get back in line, mere prole.....It's my turn!

 

[Lesh]

a constitutional republic like ours is supposed to reduce or stop oppression of anyone,,

far better than any democracy,,

What you are referring to is a pure democracy where everyone votes on thing.

We are a democratic republic where we democratically elect representatives.

Which still leaves the reps of the majority making most policy… not the reps of a minority

 

[Lesh]

We want our elected people to fight and when they do many do not like it. McCarthy must give in a little more. He must be owned.

By the ten per cent of one party???

"Your true colors keep shining though..."

McCarthy's theme song.

The Democrats' response to McCarthy was a middle finger salute, to rally around an election denier of their own, and consider using McCarthy's tactic to elect Jeffries with a lower number than 218.

Whoever is in power oppresses the rest. You just want it so that your side is the one who can do the oppressing because you don't want the majority to do the oppressing, you want the minority to do the oppressing.

no... because we have a constitution we are a constitutional republic that uses democratically elected reps,,
