@bedrooms @LaFinlandia @mawkishdave @Djtecha @Tar_alcaran only the Republicans had the power to keep McCarthy

They CHOSE not to exercise that power.

That had to happen first, before you factor in the Dems. Without that choice, the Dems would be irrelevant.

The Republicans MADE the Democrats relevant.

You're choosing not to see that

Majority rule made the Dems relevant. Since that's the entire structure of our democracy then maybe there's a bit more strategy to it than you're willing to observe.
