Republicans, specifically Matt Gaetz, voted to remove McCarthy. It's not Democrat's responsibility to vote for Republicans.
I have to disagree with that, they had someone that was working with them and they threw it away. If the funding for Ukraine doesn't pass or the gov shuts down I see it as much as the Dems fault as the Repubs.
You have a valid point and these people just seem to miss it because they're too mired in partisanism to see it.
I'm guessing the real explanation here is that the Dems think the Republicans having extremists in charge makes them look like fools and will ultimately be a political win even if it means dealing with this sort term political deadlock.
What's better? Republicans you have to work with or a shot at a majority dem house next time?
The partisanship in here, among what I assume are mostly adults, is monstrously depressing.
