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

It was a useless impeachment attempt anyway. If Trump wins the Nobel peace prize for this, how much merit would an impeachment hold regarding said incident?

Pretty ridiculous. Now you're just grasping for anything to stick.

Presidents don't always need approval for military actions, just ask Obama, Biden, Clinton.

It'd be a waste of money. 128 Democrats realized that. You just want him impeached because you hate him no matter what he does.

He can solve world peace and you'd still hate him. Oh wait......

Almost 400 million Americans still think walking will fix this.

I'm gonna disagree here. The impeachment resolution was a dumb idea, and should not have been introduced. It was never going to be successful. The more impeachment resolutions are introduced and fail, either in the house or Senate, the less likely they are to ever succeed. It looks more like boring partisan messaging, and less like an extraordinary situation. Introducing this resolution makes it less likely that Trump will be removed from office, not more.

I'm not going to take a position on whether it was a good idea to vote against it, that's more debatable, but as a message to their fellow Democrats they are right that the resolution was a terrible idea.

It's funny. When the impeachment attempt was announced, it was roundly condemned by Very Serious Leftists as useless and, in fact, targeting Trump for something that was not actually illegal, and thus more proof of Dem complicity by engaging in 'pointless' symbolic action instead of 'real' interference.

And now that most Dem reps seem to agree with this position, many of those same Very Serious Leftists regard not supporting the impeachment attempt also as proof of Dem complicity.

Here is the full list of Democrats that voted to table the articles of impeachment.

Find yours, call them, and let them know they've failed to represent the people interests.

[-] [email protected] -1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

TBH they're representing my interests pretty well in this case. An impeachment trial would have just been a huge waste of time unless 20 Republican Senators joined the 47 DNC caucus to remove Trump and I can tell you right now with a 99.9% certainty that wasn't going to happen.

Ro Khanna doing his standard move of cycling back and forth between pretending to be a progressive and just being utterly spineless.

I truly hope "refused to impeach President Trump" becomes a purity test in the next primary. That's a lot of incumbents to kick to the curb, but with this vote it's well warranted.

Only problem with this method is that there are those who voted for his first few impeachments but not this latest one, so they can say they have in the past but not specify which one.

Also it's a sad state of affairs that we have a President whose been impeached several times.

On the other hand, if they did vote for impeachment, call them and tell them to keep up the good fight.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago

My guy is on the list, so he'll be getting a call from me today. He's useless anyway. I wish he'd get primaried by a tough progressive.

Looks like there are 212 Democrat reps in the house, which puts it at a large majority which would rather “not cause a fuss” or whatever the fuck excuse they’re trying to bullshit this time.

Useless people. Worthless people.

But they impeached him before, so their stance is that he got better and is no longer a threat to democracy?

[-] [email protected] 71 points 1 week ago

They just don't feel the need to hide anymore. Most of your "Democrats" are just Republicans with a different paint job.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago

They are just Republicans that aren't comfortable rounding up minorities into camps. They are cool if Republicans want to do it, but they are afraid of being associated with it for now

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

I wonder if they will note this?

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.

Still "both sides are not the same"? Even if Democrats have slight majority in both or either houses, they still dilute policies to appease the fascists from stonewalling. Meanwhile, the fascists legislate every unspeakable evil policies and Democrats don't even try to resist as opposition.

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
