So… seven far-right Republicans decide to oust McCarthy because he actually compromised and worked with Biden on something, and then all the Dems vote with the 7 in order to oust him. I think he’s a horrible Speaker, but I was hopeful he was maybe growing a spine. Now, it’s unclear who will be Speaker, and it could be someone much, much worse. Why did the Dems vote to kick him out? 

 @90431d67 Why wouldn't they? 

 @90431d67 I find electoral-vote.com very informative, especially regarding political strategy. 

 @90431d67 Why support him if he wasn't going to give them any concessions?  He made his own noose, no sense saving him from it unless you get something for it.
