Edit: the context is that Rs votes split exactly as expected. Dems knew the expectation and chose to oust McCarthy. That’s a fact.

This can NOT be serious. This argument is on the same level as "I didn't punch him, I was just swinging my arms wildly and they put their face in the path of my fist". Are you actually 5 years old, or just pretending?

@Tar_alcaran @bedrooms

Who has the majority in the House?

The Republicans.

End of story.

Not end of story. Rs against McCarthy didn't reach majority.

If you don't explain, please understand that I'm not interested in what emoji you use.

@bedrooms @LaFinlandia @mawkishdave @Djtecha @Tar_alcaran only the Republicans had the power to keep McCarthy

They CHOSE not to exercise that power.

That had to happen first, before you factor in the Dems. Without that choice, the Dems would be irrelevant.

The Republicans MADE the Democrats relevant.

You're choosing not to see that

Majority rule made the Dems relevant. Since that's the entire structure of our democracy then maybe there's a bit more strategy to it than you're willing to observe.
