MODERATORS
Let me flip your argument: US conservatives always knew there would be roughly 212 democratic votes against anything they do.
Why would they, with 221 votes in their side, do something like this? If they didn't want this to happen, why would conservatives take this action?
Why do democrats have to clean up conservative messes? Why can't they be adults and act responsibly?
Can you explain to me why my comment equated to "I didn’t punch him, I was just swinging my arms wildly and they put their face in the path of my fist"?
I don't see how.
Conservatives started this by starting the vote, by having people like Gaetz in the party without doing anything about it. Conservatives are letting MAGA idiots into their party without issue. Conservatives then start a vote to get rid of someone democrats loathe, and they do exactly what's expected, enabled by a number of conservatives who could easily stop such a vote since they're the larger party.
Then conservatives completely fail to clean up the mess they created. And now you're saying "why would democrats allow us to remove our own speaker? Don't they know everyone gets hurts when we're allowed to do the things we do?"
I think you assume I'm pro-Republican. I'm actually not.
We can agree that Republicans are the cause of this problem.
I was just correcting OP's comment. I clarified that further in some of the comments here.
In the original comment, I even wrote that I'm not suggesting Ds are to be blamed.
~~I actually (mostly) agree with that. I know conservatives are bad. Can you finally explain to me why you equated my comment to "I didn't punch him..."?~~
Wait, I think I'm too tired now as it's late in the night here. I'll reply tomorrow if I find the motivation.
