He is an insurrectionist. See his political positions on wikipedia here. It's a well-sourced article. He also opposes

• The ACA
• Research on disinformation
• The Environment, in general
• Abortion, to the point where he said that the 10-year-old girl who got raped and needed to travel to Indiana to get an abortion was lying about it until the police arrested the guy and he confessed.
• Regulating big tech
• Taxes, Spending, pretty broadly
• Same-sex marriage

He's an extremist. They do not have the political power to elect an extremist from their ranks. They need a moderate.

Instead of "trashing Gym Jordan as an 'insurrectionist'" it should read "reminding them that Gym Jordan is an insurrectionist".

Yeah why should they help cleanup the other sides fucking mess, not like they’d get credit and cooperation if they did.

Why do the Dems have to "help" the GOP? I say the GOP isn't helping the Dems! All it would take is a handful of Rs to vote with the Dems to make Jeffries the speaker.

Asked what Jordan can do to change minds, Armstrong said: “Talk to people, listen to people. He’s really good at it…”

beg to fucking differ, you servile cunt

“People can talk a big game about that. I haven’t personally heard anybody talk about that; it’s only hearsay,” he said. “But I think that’s pretty nuclear. Let’s keep this conventional.”

This quote by a Republican Congressman explains absolutely everything that is wrong about the GOP. The idea of talking to Democrats to see what compromise could take place is considered a "nuclear" option. Keep in mind that had 5 districts gone the other way nationwide, Republicans would be in the minority. But they're talking as if they have an ironclad majority that demands they never compromise on anything.

This party deserves to die.

They spelled his name wrong, it’s Gym Jordan.

So…

The second-largest voting bloc (moderate Republicans) is angry at the first-largest voting bloc (Democrats) for voting for their preferred candidate, cuz they think they’re entitled to the votes of the third-largest voting bloc (MAGA Republicans).

Makes sense.

Edit: Not sure why I got down-dooted to oblivion right off the bat. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Fuck you mean “trashing”?

At the risk of sounding like a hopeless optimist... Wouldn't it make sense for the Republicans to nominate more of a centrist with promises to work on common ground with the Democrats (whatever narrow terrain that may consist of now) and thereby sideline the MAGA crew to irrelevancy?

Yeah they would take a lot of heat from Trump & co., but maybe they could actually pass something for their constituents.

Even if Dems wanted to help sincerely, why would they aid a party whose platform is to harass the shit out of everyone else. Nevermind the fact that the staffers are probably still dealing with the fear from Jan 6 in therapy; helping get Jim Jordan up of all people is voting for a dude who indirectly tried to kill you. The idea of even asking for that is so weird to me.

LETS GOOOO

House Minority Leader needs to nominate an r they can work with. That will turn up the heat.
