Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Here is the full list of Democrats that voted to table the articles of impeachment.
Find yours, call them, and let them know they've failed to represent the people interests.
Ro Khanna doing his standard move of cycling back and forth between pretending to be a progressive and just being utterly spineless.
I truly hope "refused to impeach President Trump" becomes a purity test in the next primary. That's a lot of incumbents to kick to the curb, but with this vote it's well warranted.
Only problem with this method is that there are those who voted for his first few impeachments but not this latest one, so they can say they have in the past but not specify which one.
Also it's a sad state of affairs that we have a President whose been impeached several times.
Give a date and time. Motherfuckers you don't get credit for kinda representing the party sometimes.
No spine
On the other hand, if they did vote for impeachment, call them and tell them to keep up the good fight.
God damn it. My local rep is one of those assholes.
Start beating on those primary drums.
How is this both senators and House of Representatives?
Don’t do this. Just primary them.
Do both, so they know why they lost.
None from Wisconsin, wtf California?
And then send them out to pasture like Andrew Cuomo.
It can be done. Do it enough, and you'll have a party that actually represents the people.
Yup, that's what democracy is supposed to be all about giving engaged citizens the tools to change the system to reflect their values!
Also, if your rep is not on the list, call their office and express your appreciation that they voted to move forward with impeachment.
I looked up the ones in my state, and I'm just gobsmacked at how fucking ugly the districts are. I know gerrymandering is bad, but when I actually have to see it... /puke
Thank you. One of my representatives, Gabe Vasquez, is on the list and I messaged him. Funny that he put out a press release condemning the actions of bombing Iran but doesn't want to support impeachment. What a turd.
Well, I've just sent emails to the representatives that I could. Probably half of the ones from my state prevented emails from going out because my address didn't fall in their district.
Was surprised WV wasn't on the list, then realized why and grew even more depressed.
I wish the office came with a mandate that they'd personally have to field constituent calls 4 hours a week.
But like so much else, they aren't going to legislate accountability for themselves.
Reminder that you can also do this if your rep voted against tabling to express support for what they're doing and they they're representing you well.
TBH they're representing my interests pretty well in this case. An impeachment trial would have just been a huge waste of time unless 20 Republican Senators joined the 47 DNC caucus to remove Trump and I can tell you right now with a 99.9% certainty that wasn't going to happen.
