How should House Dems vote on Gaetz's motion to vacate the Speakership?

[LonePirate]

What is the best course of action for House Dems? Vote to keep McCarthy to prevent an even more conservative member from becoming Speaker? Vote to kick McCarthy out of his position? Or sit on the sidelines and let Republicans sort out their own mess?

1. Every single democrat should vote to vacate

And every single democrat should vote for Mr Jeffries for Speaker unless the Speaker gives on something BIG. Why should the Democrats give Speaker a big victory. I posted this in an earlier thread. What looks better from a democratic perspective. If you want to give a lifeline, this should be kept in mind.

Motion to vacate the Chair

Yea 19
Nea 200
Present 212

Or
Yea 199
Nea 200
Present 32

They both do the same thing, but one makes McCarthy look better. A select few democrats should vote present, only after they get their ask. I don’t know what the ask is, but only after the ask is fulfilled

2. I really don't think Republican caucus can settle on one person and elect a new speaker

And while the chair is vacated they can’t do any business

3. I want Dems to vote to keep him so Pukes are stuck with him.

Whoever would replace him would be worse, and keeping him would be a guaranteed WWE-level shitshow for them all the way to the election.
