It's an intellectually deficint argument. You know the gop called the vote and yet you want to act like this has anything to do with the democrats. The only reason you are pushing this "point" is to try to both sides this bullshit. You are doing nothing but attempting to push a narrative, a lazy one that no one is buying btw.
Wait, it's not like OP criticized Trump and I said "but Hillary".
The OP's argument was wrong. It was not Mat Gaetz' "vote". Dems did choose to oust McCarthy.
That's not "both side". I just corrected OP.
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.
@bedrooms because... come on. You're so close...😆
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.
@fattylumpkin just reread my last reply. You're blaming the bullet, not the trigger finger.
Analogy isn't working for me. I've turned it off and back on again. Still nothing. 😆
@fattylumpkin oh for fuck's sake 😆 let's just agree to disagree
