  I’m open to it if they agree to oust Santos.
context: Nothing is likely to come of it, but being a Democrat from Alaska this isn't a bad move for her. She can just tout the effort made without actually having to do anything. >
  
  It’s a gutsy move, but it’d work out. The insurrection caucus hates McCarthy guts, they won’t vote for anything he wants. And anything he passes without being bipartisan won’t make it through the senate. They’ll spend the next 2 years screaming about McCarthy instead of getting anything done. Win win for Dems. >
  
  Republicans:  Please, Democrats, we made a mess, bail us out again! >

  Sounds like a bullshit headline.
  Her only quotes from the article:  
  
  “Anything that gets us communicating with each other rather than talking at each other would be a good thing at this point,” she said.   
  “The gridlock over the Speaker vote is not normal or good for anyone. I am not enjoying this — I don’t think anyone is, and Alaskans deserve better,” Peltola said. 
  
  Sounds like a reporter asked "Would you be open to forming a majority coalition with the Republicans?"  
  She said "Anything that gets us communicating with each other" and the reporter took that as a yes when it's obviously avoiding answering no. >
  
  Yeah, fuck that. Let them roast. >
  
  Why would they? This is one of the worst things that have ever happened to the GOP. They can't even elect a speaker the PR is so bad. >
  
  Oh, I don't know, because it might actually benefit the country to avoid having the Qanon nuts running the House. >
  
  Seriously. The amount of people here who want the 20 members of the freedom caucus to run the house is baffling >
  
  They already will.  McCarthy has promised them the moon, its not enough now, but maybe it will be at some point. >
  
  IMO democrats should not be on board with mccarthy. If they're going to compromise they need to get someone closer to the center who isn't going to shut down the government, and I just don't trust mccarthy in that regard. >
  
  This. Any compromise pick has to actually be a compromise, not some fucking pinky swears to do this or that from a bunch of fucking jackals that have shown time and again their promises aren't worth shit. >
  
  
  I am not enjoying this — I don’t think anyone is, and Alaskans deserve better,” Peltola said. 
  
  I am enjoying this, thank you very much. >
  
  Sure, but we do deserve better. >
  
  You do. Until that can happen, this is as good as it can get. >
  
  Pretty sure most modern republicans would rather this vote go on for the next century than form a coalition with the dems. >
  
  Dems would only need 6 to back a moderate republican >
  
  Or Jeffries. >
  
  Hell no. >
  
  They better fucking not…
