  • I don’t know much about politics but given the situation it sounds to me like he’s just hoping to get someone with a weaker hand into that already extremely tenuous position. Democrats shouldn’t be fooled thinking “but they’re more reasonable”. That person will automatically have a weaker position than McCarthy just because they are the second choice so it won’t matter much who the speaker is just the fact that they have zero room to maneuver. What might make it worthwhile despite this? I wonder whether Democrats can extract some binding commitments like non-reversible rule changes that survive at least for the session in order to secure their votes to oust McCarthy.





  • This sounds like obvious sealioning but I’ve got a minute so I’ll take the bait. If everyone applies that mentality it will almost always lead to the tyranny of the majority. What will cause a group that has even a slim majority to understand and take into account the needs of the minority. How will the majority even know there is a problem if the minority doesn’t (as you say) “complain to everyone else”. Just like the poster depicted says “so what” about it being gay being a choice, I don’t care whether people define that stance as “homophobia”. I do care that they understand why they shouldn’t do it.
