Do leftists want McCarthy out? I thought at this point he was beholden to Democrats enough he might actually try to temper the traitors and bigots in the Republican party.
If McCarthy survives with democrats help than I think it solidifies the idea of an intraparty split between what used to be called establishment republicans and the hard right. For my part I think the republican party is causing real and actual harm to the nation and to the world at large. If this breaks their coalition and gets them to fight amongst themselves then great. Aside from that I don’t really care all that much.
Plus, would the rule remain that it only takes one house member to initiate a vote to expel the speaker? If so then that’s all they’d be doing. I mean I’d say fuck it, if yall can swing it give a shot, I just think that dems fucking with the republicans heads by backing McCarthy is more likely.
it’s the traitors and bigots in the house that have mccarthy over a barrel, and he’s proven to be unreliable in deals with democrats. his grasp on the gavel is likely over unless the democrats screw it up and enough of them accept quickly-forgotten deals to keep him in his leadership position.

It would only take a few republicans to give the gavel to the dems and end this shitshow. Why should the dems concede here at all?
Because the existence of those few Republicans is not particularly likely, and those Representatives would be commiting political suicide by doing so.
