Just your daily reminder from Democrats that they suck.

    Wow, so much for being the party of “Resistance.” Tell me again how we can depend on the neo-liberals to not only do the right thing but also their jobs?

    Right. Even if they impeached him, he’s not going anywhere.

    It would be better to counter him as much as possible. I just don’t trust Jeffries to do even that.

      It’s like you could actually do both.

      Also even though the chance of having the Senate follow through is basically nil, I still believe having public impeachment hearings where these assholes actually press the matter, bring the facts and be as explicit and dramatic with the facts as possible with the American public, because let’s face it Americans are too dumb to be all about the facts, about the unconstitutional things he’s done and how he AND the Republican party + Fetterman are responsible for the spike in every things for the American people. You don’t have to remove Trump in order for an impeachment to be successful.

      But then again with these spinless dicks that call themselves Democrats, maybe it is better that they don’t have impeachment hearings because they would softball everything just like last times and get no point across.

      I think it’s the right course of action. If they impeach him he’ll refuse to go and it’ll be Jan 6 on steroids. Riots.

      The better way will be to let him screw things up so bad that MAGA voters realise they were wrong. And the drive behind the movement will disappear. Rather than cause escalation.

      He’s already done that in part by raising costs of life with his tariffs and war.

      Ps I’m in no way supporting the neoliberals, I’m very progressive too. But I don’t see how an impeachment will end well.

        He will not leave regardless.

        None of them can leave, they know they’ll get drowned in a lot of problems, from investigations to lawsuits.

        It’s like the situation in Iran, trump thought he’d throw a few bombs and the Iranian regime would just start writing resignation letters.
        But they can’t leave, if they do they’ll be lynched by the oppressed people.

        The same goes for the current US regime, even the identified ICE-soldiers will get in trouble when the regime falls.

        People won’t be reasoned out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.

        In other words as things go to shit it won’t be the Fanta fascist’s fault, it will be immigrants or black people, or Demoncrats. They’ll never blame the pedo or themselves. Your way won’t work.

    It’s all theater. The democrats are there to make normal people think there is someone “good” in the government. The only ones who actually change society meaningfully are the conservatives. This is because FDR passed the new deal to prevent a second civil war, and the owners of the US hated that so much that they’ve been walking back that shit for 100 years. Essentially, back in the “gilded age” working people were essentially slaves to the companies they worked for, paid in scrip only valid at company stores, forced to live in company housing. The working people started pushing back, with violence. The US government unsurprisingly put down these ‘protests’ working on behalf of the business interests. Before it could come to a head, FDR did the new deal, and wwii buttoned it all up. They’ve been trying to make everybody slaves again ever since, and they’re pretty close now.

    When asked if impeachment was a top priority, Jeffries said “of course not” during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”

    He was on fox news when he said this; most likely, given the dems have already tried to impeach trump twice, he was trying to give the fascists a way to rationalize accepting dems winning the house. Besides this is a completely reasonable thing - unless dems win the senate too it shouldn’t be the priority to do something completely pointless.

      Am impeachment is just a trial. Unless the dens can get enough seats in the Senate that are willing to convict and remove trump an impeachment where Trump refuses all congressional subpoenas for him and the rest of the Epstein administration is meaningless.

      Yeah. It shows that the current opposition party will always be against a national threat to democracy and pedophilic rapist.

      It puts all of the blame solely on the party destroying everything and shows the democratic constituency that their votes matter.

      I think I am growing to hate the worthless, centrists in this country even more everyday. How does one compromise with a rapist? With a pedophile? How do you compromise with a seditious traitor who sells our secrets to the highest bidder openly?

      The fact we aren’t in a war already shows that the country has already fallen and the Democrats aren’t any way back to normalcy. They COMPROMISE with domestic terrorists that have killed science and education, farmers, cancer patients, children, etc.

      WORTHLESS

        I was leaning toward, ‘without winning the Senate its a waste of time when there are so many other pressing concerns.’

        But no, you’re right, they have to walk and chew pedo-gum at the same time. They have to take action against the ongoing national threat, and they have to move the country on from these people’s dystopic vision of the US. Its a necessary part of the program.


        It’d also have the tactical benefit of distracting from the WH regime’s program, and allow political space for wavering Republicans to push back against certain excesses lessening the damage the WH is able to carry out from that point.

    I don’t like Jeffries but he’s correct here. No point in impeaching him cause he’s never removed. Better off just blocking off and reversing every executive decision he’s made.

    Why would they bother? It’s a waste of time. Nobody cares how corrupt he is and he won’t be removed.

    It’s meaningless anyhow if they don’t follow up with removing him from office. They’d be better off with their standard form strongly worded letter.

    Good. Impeachment is pointless and accomplishes nothing. Plus trump is a cenile stooge inches from death.

    Jailing regime goons for their many open crimes should be the priority.

    Jeffries has zero say what happens in the next congress. Just like Schumer

    They’ve been lame ducks all but two weeks of this session, and they’re not above saying dumb shit like this to try and get progressives to tune out of the primaries.

    They’re doing triage for the neoliberal faction

    If you don’t like them, vote in your Dem primary for the most progressive options.
