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.
Honestly whether it would've worked or not doesn't really matter to me, we need actual left wing politicianswho are willing to fight the establishment tooth and nail regardless of the odds
Even if they can't win, I don't want to see them go down without a fight
This. Winning is never going to happen, you're goal is voting no is not to fucking decide policy, it is to stand as a constant. If it is useless then why not do it? Unless one still accepts electoralism. Per Luxemburg
I think that point that I bolded is the most significant. That NO is a weapon in and of itself
Part of it was explaining why it wouldn't work and who the enemies were. But would the media actually carry those messages even if the Squd said it during the roll call vote for speaker?
