Pretty fed up with this, especially as they're working with the Cons. So where were these people in the last 2 years?

“WASHINGTON - A group of nine Democrats threatened Friday to withhold support for Nancy Pelosi's House Speaker bid, creating a potential roadblock for the California Democrat who has been lobbying for weeks to get her old role back.

Pelosi was already fighting for support from a group of 16 Democrats who penned a letter, declaring they wouldn't support the minority speaker and instead called for new leadership.

The new group of nine Democrats from the Problem Solvers Caucus threatened to withhold support for Pelosi until she agrees to a list of demands that includes House rule changes that could potentially allow for more bipartisan legislation to pass.“

“No Labels is an American political organization whose mission is to combat partisan dysfunction in politics and "usher in a new era of focused problem solving in American politics". [1] It promoted the creation of the House Problem Solvers Caucus which has 48 members, evenly divided between Republican and Democrats to forge bipartisan cooperation on key issues. [2] Since its creation in January 2017 [3] the Caucus has proposed or supported bipartisan proposals on healthcare, infrastructure, immigration and border security, and gun safety, and was a participant in budget negotiations.[4][5]

In 2018, No Labels introduced its New House, New Rules campaign, which proposes rule and procedural changes in the next Congress to make it easier for bipartisan ideas and legislation to get hearings and votes on the House floor.[6]

On June 21, 2018 No Labels announced The Speaker Project, which proposed using the election of a new speaker as leverage to make rule changes in order to give bipartisan ideas a fair hearing and "a fighting chance in the next Congress".[7] On July 25, the Problem Solvers Caucus released its Break The Gridlock proposals, which aimed at ensuring that legislation with broad bipartisan backing gets an airing in committees and on the floor.
