Democrats do not look better by letting the Republicans flail. If this is going to be a repeat of the last speakership election, Democrats should intervene.
There is no constitutional requirement that the speaker of the house be a member of Congress. Democrats should nominate a strong apolitical candidate (perhaps a Medal of Honor recipient), and dare the Republicans to give them anything less than their whole-hearted support.
Hell, they should publish a list of the next 10 such candidates they will be nominating, inviting the public and media to compare Jim Jordan to a whole list of laudable alternatives.
Waiting for the Republicans to negotiate toward a position that will appease Matt Gaetz and his chucklefucks serves neither the nation's interests nor Democratic interests.

There is no constitutional requirement that the speaker of the house be a member of the majority party in Congress. Republicans should vote for Jeffries since Jeffries has the most votes.
Hell, they could publish a list of alternatives to Jeffries in the Democratic party, inviting the public and media to compare candidates as they reach across the aisle.
Watching Republicans waste time until they negotiate toward a position that will appease Matt Gaetz and his chucklefucks shows just how much Republicans don't give a fuck about neither the nation's interests nor Democratic interests.
If this is going to be a repeat of the last speakership election, Republicans should vote for Jeffries.
To a moderate Republican, the only thing worse than Gaetz is a Democratic political player. The only way a Republican can vote for the Democratic nominee is if that nominee is not a political operative.
A non-partisan speakership cuts the floor out from under Gaetz and his cronies, allowing the GOP to ignore its lunatic fringe and come back to the center.
For me it's because the Bible can't do shit to help him, but he still pretends it can by wrapping it around the actual life-saving device made by scientists.
He then proceeded to put the unopened Bible back in the closet until Church next Christmas or Easter and reattached the mask to his very real CPAP machine. The libruls have been owned.
That's obvious. If he had ever opened the Bible, he might remember the section about containing infectious diseases (Leviticus 13). The Word of God says you're supposed to cover your face and social distance/quarantine to prevent outbreaks.
I was talking with a doctor friend of mine. She told me that she had a new patient, a 75 year old man. She asked him if he had any medical problems, or took any meds. He said no. She was very impressed by his great health. Then she asked how often he saw a doctor. Hadn't seen one in 20 years.
Not sure what the point of your expression is. He was in good health because of things completely and utterly unrelated to visiting a doctor. If he had health problems, he'd simply die without seeing a doctor, which happens all the time.
Him surviving to 75 is utterly and completely irrelevant much like gay people being visibly present has absolutely no relevance to their literal existance. Gay people exist with or without being allowed to express, and health issues exist with or without being diagnosed.
