  1. It’s a mess the GOP made and could functionally operate around if they didn’t court the most extreme ideologues as elected officials

  2. Unless a Republican candidate for the job offers any hope of bipartisan cooperation, Democrats will continue to vote for Jeffries for House speaker, for lack of any reason to do otherwise. It’s a given.

  3. Why would Democrats help anyone who refuses to uphold democracy?

  5. I don’t see the problem, as this is an accurate assessment of Jordan.

  6. Insurrectionist is the kindest adjective that comest to mind for Jordan.

  8. Hopefully the vulnerable Republican representatives, in districts that Biden won handily in 2020, know and understand that a vote in favor of Jim Jordan will figure prominently in opposition ads come election time, and almost certainly cost them their seats? Gym Jordan and his brand of extremism are kryptonite to their re-election chances.

  10. And this in the end is the deal we need.

    All the (R) noninsurrectionists need to get together and pick one of their pitifully small number. And the Ds can back them.

    ***And then the insurrectionists need to be expelled.***

    You want our vote: ***IT’S TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE.***

  11. Jim Jordan defied a Congressional subpoena. That’s disqualifying for a member, much less a Speaker.

    Democrats should be saying so every time they get a chance.

  12. Jordan strikes me as a bomb thrower rather than a leader.

  13. Insurrectionist pederast shield Jim *144 student sex abuse victims* Jordan

  14. >”[Jordan] was directly involved in the right-wing coup that sought to overturn the 2020 election,” [House Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass] said. “Every Republican who cast their vote for him is siding with an insurrectionist against our democracy.”

    I mean they’re ALSO siding with insurrectionist-in-chief trump for their presidential nominee so….

  15. Gym Jordan is an insurrectionist and a traitor. And a moron, let’s not forget.

  16. He is what he is. We need to eliminate this kind of individual from our government employee base.

  17. > …trashing…

    “Trashing” implies that what is being said is not true.

  18. >~~trashing~~ **Accurately labeling** Jim Jordan as an ‘insurrectionist’

  19. 2 things,

    1.) I thought both of today’s votes were secret, Republicans only votes. How the hell are democrats supposed to help with that?

    2.) That ain’t their fuckin’ job. Get your shit together.

  22. Any nominee should have to start by answering the very simple question of “Did Joe Biden win the 2020 presidential election?”

  23. I remember someone saying on another post: “Never interrupt your enemy when they’re making a mistake”. I don’t really see why anyone would expect anything less of Dems.

  25. The US now has three political parties. The sooner the GOP admits this the sooner things can move forward.

  26. “…trashing Jim as an ‘insurrectionist'”

    He trashed himself by being an insurrectionist. Dems are just stating facts.

  27. Lol gym Jordan who’s been in congress for 16 years and passed 0 bills? Yeah fuck that shit bag.
