amluto (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34442824 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34442824) already made the good points and I have been pondering the same thing.
What if the Dems got their game theories wrong: they decided making the Repubs look disjointed and in disarray was a better outcome than just voting McCarthy in without all the concessions. My best guess was they were really hoping to get a few defections to get Hakeem Jeffries. But what will be the consequences of the concessions and new rules?
Also one thing I still don't understand is, can anyone call the snap vote to oust the speaker? Or does that rule only allow Republicans to call that vote?
