Democratic leaders spoke on the steps of the Capitol and dialed up their rhetoric against Republicans for nominating a conservative firebrand to be the next House speaker.
I think the Dems often want to minimize the hurt put on the American people. If they caved and helped establish a new speaker, they could do things like avoid another government shutdown. But while I know it would hurt Americans and I don’t want that to happen, I think it might be for the best in the long term if the Dems refuse to help out, and let the Repubs flounder for as long as it takes them to get on the same team, to show America that the GOP is fucking broken.
