They offered to side with McCarthy and he said he wouldn't compromise. I don't see how that would have been a good look for the already criticized for being spineless and weak democrats.
DEMS - We will protect you from your own party if you agree to work with us.
McCarthy - No.
DEMS - Ok, well we'll protect you anyways.
Is a democrat who votes for a republican who refuses to work with democrats even really a democrat? As long as entire political parties are crossing the aisle, why not expect reasonable republicans to vote for Hakeem Jefferies? I don't know much about the guy outside of this McCarthy stuff, maybe Jefferies is totally nuts and ultra left wing.
