Herstory Begins Now posted:getting nearly the entire republican house to agree on something is almost certainly far harder than getting 50 dem senators to agree on something. They are pretty good at agreeing to own the libs. If there was an actual chance for a democratic leader here, I doubt that the house dems would all go in lockstep either. It's way easier to show unity as a symbolic sign of opposition than if you are actually in charge. But yeah, those demands of the freedom caucus are insane. According to them, a singular person has the power to make a vote of mistrust at any given time. So essentially, under this requirement, every time a vote doesn't go their way, one of them will try that. Also, this is not even specific to republicans. According to that suggestion, random democrats could stall the proceedings of everything until the end of the legislative period. If Kevin caves to that ridiculous demand and it is somehow enough to sway them (fat chance), I imagine dozens of people demand bribes for every day they don't call for a reelection of the speaker. I also really like the guy who was all "We wont surrender unconditionally. So please tell us everything you want, so we may surrender and hand it to you."

smackfu posted:Don’t understand how they “made concessions” to the Not Kevin crew but didn’t pull away any votes. Someone’s not good at negotiating. Can you really call this a negotiation? One side keeps adding ridiculous demands with no actual intention to ever change their mind and one side is desperately caves in to everything. At this point they could demand Trumps face to replace everyone on mount Rushmore and Kevin would happily promise it to them. Afterwards they demand ice cream and an extra slice of pie.

So, what stops a random dem Congressperson to say "Okay Kevin, you're elected now. Let's have a do over?"

While I believe KMc will do it next time, dying with half a vote missing is just perfect. And just because Gaetz is a coward, who would not openly agree.
