McCarthy almost did the right thing by letting the funding bill come to the floor, but it also stripped Ukraine funding and was a can to kick things down the road giving us only 45 days till we're in the same spot. He could have also offered consessions to the Dems for their vote, which he refused to do. Add to that what is a literal witchhunt of an Impechment inquiry, why do you think the Dems should have saved him?

I don't think they should have saved him. I added some context to my comment, since everyone is thinking I meant something very different.

This is politics on Lemmy. What is this "context" you refer to? We don't do that here.
