Just your daily reminder from Democrats that they suck.

    To the surprise of no one. They have no interest in removing trump because they support everything he’s done. This is what happens when voters refuse to hold their parties accountable. They blindly and willfully supported a candidate no one wanted, but fell in line when told to do so.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    Just count Jeffries and congressional Democrats out of everything. They’re determined to do nothing substantive with whatever power we give them, again. They’re a corporate donor maintenance organization, not a political party, not leaders, and certainly not advocates for any civic ideology other than whatever positions reinforce their ability to perform the above maintenance project.

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

    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.

    The last 2 times just shows it’s a waste of time until they have the votes in the Senate to convict and remove him from office.

      It’s clearly on his mind, he’s been mentioning it out of nowhere lately. He doesn’t want to be impeached for a third time. Now you’re right it won’t actually do anything to the administration, but this is one of those times when the principle matters. It’s worth doing it because he deserves it and it would infuriate him.
