By fighting Kevin McCarthy’s bid to become the next Speaker of the House, the right wing of the Republican Party won significant concessions that will make it a powerful player in Congress. The Left should learn to replicate its tactics for egalitarian ends.
They had enough to block the speakership vote the way these Republicans did. A marginally better speaker (Barbara Lee maybe) would have been a good demand.
They kept saying “We have no other candidates lined up!” And I was just like “Well pick literally anyone wtf are you doing”
