minus-squarenilloc@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·edit-29 months agoYeah, this is picking between which cancer you want to die from, not lesser evils. All the candidates the GOP are gonna put forward are somehow gonna be worse than McCarthy. Which is fucking ridiculous. Vote brain eating amoeba for speaker.

minus-squareCryophilia@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 months agoJust a thought, but maybe something like this GOP and Dems agree to a list of concessions GOP nominates Jeffries (or just have a few GOP congressmen be conveniently absent). Concessions get passed. Jeffries steps down. Democrats nominate previously agreed on GOP speaker. Republicans don’t hold up their end of the bargain, Jeffries just stays as speaker. Dems don’t hold up their end of the bargain, GOP still has the majority so they can hold up any legislation.
