Useless. Time for the Social Democrats to form their own party.

There is a new website tracking whether politicians will go on the record to be against bribery.

I wonder if they will note this?

This wasn't the resistance we were looking for. The Dems picked a subject that wasn't particular to this President.

Intentionally wasted impeachment effort. Green is the bad guy here, I wonder what he was thinking. AOC was doing the job of opposition, getting people to focus on the bombing and think about its legitimacy

Is there a list of names? Because if any of my reps show up on this list, I will never vote for them again.

I don't want these fucking dinosaurs running the goddamn party anymore. I want some progressives with teeth who have the backbone to fight the fascists head on. I don't care how petty or how low they have to get, I want to see them at least try.

I'm sorry I know this impeachment is important to all your emotional needs after feeling bullied and all, but it would be extremely helpful to Trump.

Bear with me please. Here's how impeachment actually works:

Trump does something terrible that is extremely unpopular.
Outrage forces Democrats to impeach him.
Because impeachment requires a 2/3 majority, which is literally unobtainable for Democrats even after the midterms, there's absolutely no chance whatsoever he gets convicted, so he wins at the Senate.
Trump declares victory, says the whole thing was a hoax.
(This is the key) Low information voters regard the issue as now settled in Trump's favor.
No one talks about the illegal war, leading the Jan 6 riot, or trying to corruptly shake down Zelensky again, because these are all now worthless as attacks against Trump.

See the last two impeachments. There's no way this works well. American democracy sucks, but realize it's a game. You can't win at poker by playing every hand, no matter how much you deserve to win. Impeachment is a 2-7 off suit. Fold it on sight.

Might as well let trump win. Maybe a few more assassinations will wake the dems up.
