...to do it again*. We've been down this road, we know where it ends.
Yup. Whoever sells out last gets the best price.
Balls has nothing to do with it. At this point it's just a token effort. It won't pass a single vote.
What should they do instead? Nothing?
Do you think the only options are "do nothing" or "do something pointless"?
That was a perfect opportunity for you to name a better option.
Fine, here are several things they could be doing that would actually be productive right now:
- Start campaigning hard, now, for the upcoming midterms, telling voters exactly what the Trump administration has done that is hurting them, and how they can fix it. Look at Bernie and AOC for a good example.
- Identify districts where they can help campaign and inject funding to tip the scales.
- Join protests in their districts. Show up and support the people on the ground.
- Keep pushing to get access to ICE detention centers as much as possible. Tell the stories of the people being detained. Show the world that this has nothing to do with rounding up criminals. If ICE agents try to stop them or assault/arrest them, so much the better. That shit is getting people riled up.
- Stand with state governors that are defying executive orders from the president.
I could list stuff here all day. None of it changes the fact that articles of impeachment aren't worth the paper they're printed on right now. Republicans control congress and are colluding with a corrupt executive branch. The Democrats in congress have zero power to effect change through their offices right now. They need to do the work to get some power back first. At best, they can do something like this to grab a few headlines and maybe get a few republicans on record saying they explicitly support what Trump is doing. Sadly, a good chunk of the population agrees still, and this isn't going to change that.
And how would them voting "yes" for impeachment instead of "no" prevent them from don't any of these things?
Can't wait to hear from right wing Democrats about how now is the time for compromise and they don't want to set precedent, or some shit
You could have every democrat and independent vote to remove and it still won't pass without Republicans.
And yet some democrats still decided to vote with republicans.
Just to make sure to let the anti-war left know how much their own party hates them and will never represent them.
The funny thing is that dems been blaming 3rd party voters for trump winning despite harris having zero chance to win with them
Congress needs about 200 more Al Greens.
We'd have to get the r's to agree to it, and they're just not ready. Trump going full Nazi against US citizens and people who want to live here, cutting medicaid and starting wars, are super duper okay with them.
There’s a higher chance of you winning the lottery and getting struck by lightening on the same day before 200 more Al Greens work for Congress.
Is he trying to tell us Change Is Gonna Come?
That's Sam Cooke
Al Green performed a version with Booker T and the MGs. But yep, Sam Cooke wrote it.
Now we're letting AI impeach our president?
Well, at this point let's give it a shot...
lol I'm guessing the name Al is finally going to finish dying it's long, miserable, slow death. No one gonna want Al to get confused with AI
People were named after the steak sauce? That's wild
Good luck with that.
How many Republicans do you think will support this? I mean of course this guy is right but that isn't the point. The US government is so through and through corrupt that laws don't matter and this impeachment will fail before it's out of the gates. Even Democrats are in bed with the Cheeto now
Too bad no one will volunteer to get some jizz in the dress...
Imagine if he wore a brown suit, and ate Grey Poupon
