Just your daily reminder from Democrats that they suck.

      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

      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.

    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.

    Looks like there are republican Democrats that need to be replaced as much as Republicans are.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

      Better yet abandon them all together. Stop trying to breath life into the vision of a party that never existed

    they’ll get to it eventually; after they try to get 60 vote threshold votes and potentially succeed - low expectations here though

    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.

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

    Edit: if you guys could stop replying with Reddit right wing talking points, that would be cool

      They won’t bother because they condone what he’s doing. They no longer have to pretend to care about the working class
