They've already given in on every position except Kevin himself. Some other KM supporters have mentioned that their support does have an expiration and that they'd look to a compromise candidate if KM keeps losing. But the probability of success of a compromise candidate is greatly increased by KM actually first stepping aside. If KM doesnt step aside and if enough of the moderates become incensed at the fact that the Gaetz/Boebert faction doesnt even have the respect for them to try and hide that they're being chaos agents, that could harden some of KM's core support just out of spite and make it more difficult for a compromise candidate to actually win. The longer this goes on, the more animosity-driven stubbornness we're likely to see, at least until they all reach some exhaustion point and need to go take their meds and have a nap. -Blackadder- fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Jan 5, 2023 |

cr0y posted:I wonder if any of the Democrats are playing video games wirelessly with each other Probably, in between just being amused or bored out of their minds. Some are probably discussing plans to get six McCarthy supporters to vote for Jefferies, because what the else gently caress are we gonna talk about while we watch these GOP idiots not govern?

This should be like paying to name a star. Spend $20 and for a day everyone has to refer to the Speaker by whichever name you choose.

Hypothetically speaking, what kind of power would a minority party Speaker have? For instance, enough Republicans get so tired of both sides fighting that they start voting “present” and Jeffries becomes Speaker. nelson fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Jan 5, 2023 |

nelson posted:Hypothetically speaking, what kind of power would a minority party Speaker have? Depends. Does the majority party let them pass a vote on something, or not? The thing is, being speaker is just the threshold. It's "I have enough support to get poo poo done." Theoretically a plurality can do that if parts of the majority abstain, but why would Gaetz abstain to let Jeffries do things?

Feels Villeneuve posted:republicans in disarray cr0y posted:I wonder if any of the Democrats are playing video games wirelessly with each other Hopefully the Dems are paying attention to the humiliation on display and taking the correct lesson from it... It hasn't exactly been a well-oiled machine on Team Blue, but it's a far cry from the days of the blue dogs and anyone hearing the name of Joe Leiberman. There was a time a few decades back when the GOP had the entire country convinced that the Republican Party were the adults in the room and it was the Democrats who were in disarray. For a former segregationist and octogenarian Biden's been surprisingly effective for us as a reprogrammed Terminator. Jeffries seems to have his people in line as well, which means there's actually a chance he can fill Pelosi's shoes. The entire country seeing you as weak and ineffectual is not a fun feeling. Hopefully the Dems remember that.
