    This is such a dishonest argument. You’re nothing more then a troll.

      Can you explain to me why it’s dishonest? I believe I’m just stating facts.

      Edit: What I mean is that I just corrected what OP wrote.

          Jesus Christ, am I on Reddit right now? The guy is spitting facts and getting lectured and downvoted. Are liberals really this sensitive now? It’s mind-blowing to an older guy.

          It’s dishonest because the Republicans both initiated the vote to remove McCarthy

          This is what I wrote

          and had the numbers to reelect him.

          This is in accordance with what I wrote: Dems could’ve reelected McCarthy.

          While you are correct democrats could have voted for McCarthy,

          Right? And

          I’m not really sure why they should/wpuld as he had already reneged on budgetary issues

          As I clarified in that comment, I was not saying they should.

          So, you’re not disagreeing with me, are you? I therefore don’t see why I’m criticized.

        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.

              You’re just shouting “dishonest”. Can you tell me exactly which part of my text is dishonest? It feels as if you’re in tribalism where you label any inconvenient fact as dishonesty and move on to protect yourself.

            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?

              As I wrote, Rs against McCarthy didn’t reach majority.

              So, would you please take back that insult? Should I explain further what you don’t understand here?

                Let me flip your argument: US conservatives always knew there would be roughly 212 democratic votes against anything they do.

                Why would they, with 221 votes in their side, do something like this? If they didn’t want this to happen, why would conservatives take this action?

                Why do democrats have to clean up conservative messes? Why can’t they be adults and act responsibly?

                  I don’t see how.

                    Conservatives started this by starting the vote, by having people like Gaetz in the party without doing anything about it. Conservatives are letting MAGA idiots into their party without issue. Conservatives then start a vote to get rid of someone democrats loathe, and they do exactly what’s expected, enabled by a number of conservatives who could easily stop such a vote since they’re the larger party.

                    Then conservatives completely fail to clean up the mess they created. And now you’re saying “why would democrats allow us to remove our own speaker? Don’t they know everyone gets hurts when we’re allowed to do the things we do?”

            It is a fact.

            Really wish Lemmyverse liberals here weren’t exactly as pedantic and defensive as they are on every other social media site.
