this is one of the things where i think the dems after the 2010 wipeout are more instructive than tends to get attention. even after a brutal shellacking, all the people in charge - all in safe areas, thus keeping their seats - went 'actually we're STAYING in charge'. and the rest went along

one can only wonder just how much MORE evelyn normielib will be radicalized if, as is honestly pretty likely given all recent history and trends, the dems decide "actually hakeem is fine, we're making him speaker again"

the radicalization of evelyn normielib has gotten a lot of talk about changing what's possible. and while this change is good, what it's unfortunately running into is that which they have little input on, like "dem house speaker", which depends on "are house dems willing to finally buck leadership"
