I wonder if Jeffries decides he has has enough of this nonsense, and tells the entire Democratic Caucus to vote “present” just to get it over with. Then he can go to the cameras and talk about how the Republicans are so dysfunctional that they needed Democrats to help resolve their differences.
It doesn’t “serve the people” to help right wing extremist bomb throwers into positions of power after they’ve already attempted to overturn free, democratic elections and tried to install an unelected leader against the will of the electorate.
Because at some point, work needs to get done there. The nutty wing of the Republican party embraces the standoff, they will have no issue leaving the chair vacant past all the deadlines and into next year. At some point, continuing to play the normal partisan game just plays into their strategy.
If Republicans can’t agree among themselves, or consent to accepting help from Democrats, then the only thing left is to help them passively.
I wish I lived in the happy little world you do where both sides see the bigger picture and everyone worked together towards a common goal.
The loyal opposition doesn’t exist any more. When they embraced Trump, they went scorched earth. Let them sink. With any luck, they’ll lose enough support in the next election to lose their majority.
Nope. Remember the orange rapist they cheered into a gruesome idiotic coup attempt? Yeah and Dems should help them?
NO. WE’RE CLOSED. Red state idiot bastards. Don’t want to get the shit shocked out of you, quit sticking a knife in the socket. No? BZZZT. This is not that difficult.
They’re destroying institutions and defying science. That is their only purpose. They have no other common goals. We should not help them at all.
Because he’s forcing the GOP to get its shit together or collapse. And there’s genuinely nothing wrong with that.
The GOP is effectively using hostage tactics, and they have done for decades at this point. That’s all it appears they know how to do. Jeffries is refusing to negotiate with hostage takers, which is the correct course of action in the long run.

Why would they bale Republicans out of their own self-inflicted stupidity for nothing in return?
Not criticizing you, but in this context it’s bail, like bailing water. Bale is like hay bale.
Most of us would rather see the Republican Caucus baled than bailed.
Especially the ones that do the plastic wrap.
Because they know they serve the people first and foremost.

The they I was referring to were the democrats. Perhaps I could have worded it better.
