I believe I read somewhere that they got some political concessions out of it and also wanted to actually get stuff done while a dem was the president. Now they have no incentive to help get unless they get something quite good back in return since republicans have a trifecta
They didn't help on his initial vote in nor did they help McCarthy

If this is what they got, then Democrats are even dumber than I thought. In what world would you even trust Johnson to keep his word? What do they expect to accomplish over the next 30 days that actually matters that's worth saving this clown? What kind of political concessions were they going to be able to get that they thought the incoming MAGA administration would even honor?
Unless they somehow expect to be able to get something that is going to be of significant and immediate benefit to the people, the only thing the Dems should be doing right now is sitting back and watching the GOP getting ready to burn the place down. If Johnson finds his own feet getting a little to close to the fire, then let his own party rescue him. They have the majority. Let him fall on his face so we can see another 3 week circus as they try to figure out which clown is in charge of handing out the red noses. That's at least 3 weeks where they're at least not taking a steaming shit all over American society for funzies. Hell, if we can get them to trip all over themselves trying to elect a speaker (after figuring out what the word "elect" means. Two syllables, you know.) for the next couple of years, that's probably the best possible outcome for this country. I'd rather them do that than try to enact Project 2025.
