Do they not realize who has the Senate and House? It'll be like the first term all over again, where Republican will kiss his ass to protect him.
Oh my God I am so tired of this back-and-forth.
When people say it’s not strategically sound to impeach, everyone says the Democrats have no spine. Now they’re calling to impeach, and it’s “what’s the damn point?” Are you fucking kidding me?
They’ve never had the votes to convict at literally any time. Should they never have gone for impeachment in the past? When is it acceptable to? Where is the line?
The last potus was directly responsible for Clarence Thomas. Half of the dem fuck heads don't even have the decency to blow smoke up their constituents asses. There has never been an easier time to be one. There's nothing they can do and every second they do nothing their portfolios get a little bit better.
I would trade a million of your signatures for a trumpers thoughts and fucking prayers every day of the week. At least trumpers are trying to destroy themselves. Dems and liberals are self-serving, self-preserving capitalist cancer.
Yep. Impeach because it’s the right thing to do, and get all the Repugs on record defending the Traitor Trump.
I think the line is doing anything outside the clearly-nonfunctional system to stop the MAGA cult. All they're doing is complaining and wasting time, Republicans will dox and threaten with violence. The people that were elected to fight this are almost literally bringing pens and paper to a gunfight.
It's honestly pathetic to watch a curbstomping being responded to with, "well im gonna write such a scathing letter about this." The Democrats are absolute trash and need to be shamed for being such cowards about this.
So... They should bring guns to congress?
They should stop doing the things they've been trying and failing at for ten years. 2024 was the end of the old ways, IMO; the Democrats lost so badly and so definitely that there's no point in pretending there's any going back.
Nice dodge.
What SHOULD the Democrats do?
So, first off: calling out someone for repeatedly doing the same thing that isn't solving the problem doesn't require having a better answer. If I was trying to solve global warming by duct-taping cats together, you could point out that it isn't working without solving global warming yourself.
Second:
I think we all know they won't do any of these things on their own, they need to be shamed into it. Without their supporters turning on them, the Democrats will continue doing nothing because it's what their donors want.
Fuck that shit. Tankie bastards are always criticizing Democrats but offering no alternatives. We should be demanding solutions purely as a shibboleth to weed out propagandists and their useful idiots.
Can you elaborate? This is pretty vague.
There is zero reason to follow the formal rules of order in Congress anymore. They should start with refusing to yield time and go as far as simply not acknowledging the Republicans as valid members of the various subcommittees.
A whole lot of the congressional rules are completely made up traditions. Ignoring them has always been an option. Canings on the house floor are also an option.
Dems have been taking the high road and losing for over a decade. They need to get dirty.
None of that will help materially or capture the attention of the tiktok generation. Protests, shouting and cursing in the chamber could work though.
I agree with you, but that doesn't mean impeachment isn't something that should be done as well
