House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries argued on Sunday that his Republicans colleagues are “in the middle of a civil war” over the best way forward amid a newly launched impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, an ongoing spending fight and another looming shutdown of the federal government.
“Civil war has the following attributes: chaos, dysfunction and extremism. The House Republican civil war is hurting hardworking American taxpayers and limiting our ability to be able to solve problems on their behalf,” Jeffries told ABC “This Week” co-anchor Jonathan Karl.
“It’s unfortunate. But as House Democrats, we’re going to continue to try to find common ground with the other side of the aisle,” Jeffries said, adding: “Hopefully the House Republicans will come along so that we can work to make sure we are funding the government.”
I’m so goddamn sick of common ground talks from Democrats
If you’re in the minority and want to get anything done, you need to find common ground with at least some of the majority. It’s just math.
There is no common ground though. And republicans when in the minority have not sought common ground, they’ve sought to divide, partner with foreign adversaries and cozy up to monsters. In the last 40 years, in a speed run since Newt Gingrich, have stopped trying to work together for the country and only seek absolute power.
"Meet me in the middle says the unjust man.
You take a step forward, he takes a step back.
Meet me in the middle says the unjust man."
Also worth mentioning they aren’t the majority. They just hold more seats because of historical inequities in law and active disenfranchisement of voters.
Also gerrymandering
