I was in favor of the impeachments and the criminal prosecutions. As you say, it is an essential duty. But now without those powers at hand, I do not think theatrical opposition will help. Better to let him hold the stage and the responsibility for his results.
all politics is theater and if you're not on stage getting attention people wonder why you even collect a salary Ds have a reputation for being useless wimps for a reason
I suppose some pundits see if that way, but most people aren’t paying much attention. They go on living their lives and blaming whoever is in power when that goes poorly, as it will under Republican leadership. They don’t need D’s to tell them whose fault that is when Trump leads the news every day
So you're cool with a fascist dictator being very unpopular as he destroys freedom and democracy day after day for years, grants himself a third term, completely dismantles everything good our country had, including the economy, and setting up his idiot son to take over when he dies. Good to know.
Trump is doing his best to incite the kind of violent reactions that will help him pull that off, and people like you might play into his hand, but I think cooler heads will prevail.
Who incited the violent reaction last time he was legally required to leave office?
Your beloved roll-over-and-play-dead strategy failed miserably on J6. Peaceful resistance Nancy and Joe were met with violence. The fascists have learned from their mistakes and are planning the next J6. They'll be well-prepared. This time they will not fail.
Playing dead has driven his approval rating down to 37%, the lowest it has ever been outside of Jan 2021. Like all authoritarians, he thrives on the fight. Take away his enemies and he has nothing.
Playing dead has kept him out of prison. Playing dead enabled him to become POTUS again. Playing dead let him take over the Supreme Court. Playing dead got Congressional Dems' approval rating to 19%. You think doing nothing is the best way to fight a rising fascist movement. You're wrong.
All of that happened after the 2 biggest protests in US history. He has been under constant attack. That’s what he thrives on, and he’s doing his best to provoke more of it. Don’t take the bait.
after he committed 150 well-documented impeachable offenses, impeaching him twice is a fucking joke. Pelosi could not have been more gentle on him.
Pelosi blocked all impeachments and even investigations. No impeachment inquiry was permitted. She tossed the Mueller Report in the trash. Twice they forced her hand, but even then she sabotaged the process, minimizing the chances of getting a conviction. Here's an in-depth account:
Pelosi has an aversion to fighting battles she cannot win. It takes 2/3 majority in the Senate to remove a president. Otherwise, the effect is to exonerate him and give him an excuse for his own failure, the attacks preventing him from doing his job.
"impeachment is hard so we should just give up" is fucking loser energy we'd never tolerate from a little league team. but somehow people think we should promote that behavior from highly paid high prestige folks who took a fucking oath... smdh
everything Pelosi and Jeffries have done has been a catastrophic failure a complete moron has become our fascist dictator on their watch only a fucking moron would continue their obviously dysfunctional strategy
If Paul Ryan or Nancy Pelosi had gone after Trump with the energy and determination of Gingrich attacking Bill Clinton, Trump would have been gone and President Pence inaugurated within a few months. That's what we need from the leaders of our party right now.
