Two years ago many progressives on the left wanted to use this strategy to advance their agenda. They named the strategy Force the Vote. A slim house majority would have allowed the progressives to withhold their vote for Nancy Pelosi and demand concessions...specifically a guaranteed floor vote on Medicare for All.Could someone please explain what is going on?
I watched the first vote and part of the 2nd, no time to watch further. I don't know what's being alleged in the OP
I don't understand the short Twitter comment on it.

Well, ok, but I don't think this explains the OP message. And I am still digesting what you say hereTwo years ago many progressives on the left wanted to use this strategy to advance their agenda. They named the strategy Force the Vote. A slim house majority would have allowed the progressives to withhold their vote for Nancy Pelosi and demand concessions...specifically a guaranteed floor vote on Medicare for All.
Progressives, Establishment Democrats AND the Legacy Media all claimed this strategy was not only flawed, performative and destined to fail...but they baldfaced lied to their constituency that withholding their votes would allow McCarthy to gain the Speakership.
The Conservatives are proving that the left had no spine, lied and deceived those that trusted them and squandered a golden opportunity.
Now the Left's narrative is "this is poor leadership and the right is in dissarray" to obfuscate the failure (or more likely success) of dissuading their members from using their leverage in the same situation two years ago.
interesting point. I was wondering why they always stick together---couldn't be because they all think alike because no 2 people ever do.
Vince Foster, Rest in Peace.
He was probably ready to do the right thing and you know how the elite dims are about doing the right thing... can't do it, just can't do it
You’re really trying to spin this shitshow?Progressives are very angry seeing this work for Conservatives.
Nancy only ever needed one vote.Nancy scared the crap out of them
