House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) called for Republicans to “get their act together” and elect the next speaker while slamming the “extremists” within their party.

    I think he means that Jeffries needs to stop pleading with the extremists (and walk back to his side of the house and stop even trying)

      Ah, I thought it was walk across the aisle to save the people who can’t even sort their own damn house

        You don’t get anything positive done by negotiating with fascists, paleoconservatives and some of the worst libertarians and liars of no fixed ideology in the world.

        Listening to them at all inevitably leads to outcomes much worse than no change.

        No, there’s genuinely no advantage to negotiating with the nutcase section of the GOP. The only thing that achieves, over the past 30 years I’ve been watching politics, is shifting the Overton Window further to the right.

        Democrats are already center right Republicans, they don’t need to move further right
