Useless. Time for the Social Democrats to form their own party.
Every politician over 50 besides Bernie needs to be ‘retired’
All that does is make a whole new generation of politicians become attached to their privileges.
Depend how the retirement goes politician of today have nothing to fear we need the cult of luigi to start the luigining
Yea, an actually democratic system needs to be implemented first! And we would solve that too via that step, very few democrats would survive if an actual choice were to be given to the people!
Suddenly 99 JD Vances in the Senate.
He should have no privilege for that.
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.
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.
Give a date and time. Motherfuckers you don’t get credit for kinda representing the party sometimes.
No spine
On the other hand, if they did vote for impeachment, call them and tell them to keep up the good fight.
God damn it. My local rep is one of those assholes.
Start beating on those primary drums.
None from Wisconsin, wtf California?
And then send them out to pasture like Andrew Cuomo.
It can be done. Do it enough, and you’ll have a party that actually represents the people.
Yup, that’s what democracy is supposed to be all about giving engaged citizens the tools to change the system to reflect their values!
Don’t do this. Just primary them.
Do both, so they know why they lost.
Also, if your rep is not on the list, call their office and express your appreciation that they voted to move forward with impeachment.
How is this both senators and House of Representatives?
I looked up the ones in my state, and I’m just gobsmacked at how fucking ugly the districts are. I know gerrymandering is bad, but when I actually have to see it… /puke
Was surprised WV wasn’t on the list, then realized why and grew even more depressed.
I wish the office came with a mandate that they’d personally have to field constituent calls 4 hours a week.
But like so much else, they aren’t going to legislate accountability for themselves.
Thank you. One of my representatives, Gabe Vasquez, is on the list and I messaged him. Funny that he put out a press release condemning the actions of bombing Iran but doesn’t want to support impeachment. What a turd.
Reminder that you can also do this if your rep voted against tabling to express support for what they’re doing and they they’re representing you well.
Well, I’ve just sent emails to the representatives that I could. Probably half of the ones from my state prevented emails from going out because my address didn’t fall in their district.
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.
What the actual fuck
“If it won’t be successful, then work against it instead of showing support!”
Dems
This is one of those times where the Dems are trying to quiet the kid provoking the moronic yet excitable school dean.
Warm fuzzy feelings are good. Actual results are far better.
Trying and trying again to improve the odds of success are better than shooting yourself in the dick if you don’t expect to succeed.
Have fun with that. Even if Dems somehow manage to regain control I expect they’ll be just as impotent as they were 2021-2023, doing little to nothing fixing/undoing this mess, much less making any actual PROGRESS. Why do I think this do you ask? Because it’s what they ALWAYS do.
Taking the black pill is worse than useless
This certainly won’t embolden diddy Don. Dumbass
I mean, an Impeachment trial without any possibility of removal seems pretty pointless, yeah. It takes 67 Senators to remove. The DNC with caucus have 47. They probably don’t even have enough votes to pass a simple majority purely symbolic impeachment, much less removal from office.
The Democratic party has always just been another branch of the wealthy. Neoliberalism is a cancer that really kicked into gear when Heritage Foundation-backed president Ronald Reagan came into office. Obama (I believe in his second term) said that back in the 80s, he would have been considered a moderate Republican.
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.
It’s not about not wanting to cause a fuss. It’s just a losing impeachment that people don’t want to attach their names to, probably the weakest attempt so far because so many Democrat presidents have acted in the same way. Precedent isn’t nothing.
“So many democrat presidents have acted in the same way”
One, doubt. Two, you take that entire excuse and shove it waaaay up your ass.
I wasn’t talking about the entirety of Trump’s actions, just the military actions he took without congressional approval which has been essentially every military action in my life regardless of which party was in power - and that’s what this whole round of impeachment talks was about, this time.
Regarding shoving this up my ass, I’m not into butt stuff but feel free to shove anything that strikes your fancy up your own ass if you like.
Profiles In Cowardice

My representative, who is generally a pretty progressive guy, is on this list. A local journalist asked about his vote, and the statement from his office was that the congressman is waiting for a classified briefing on the Iran strikes to help determine whether the president broke the law.
I know that we live in a world where we expect not only a 24-hour news cycle, but 24-hour resolutions to all issues. Having a solid argument and proper evidence for impeachment is the sort of thing that moves more slowly than we would like.
Really appreciate it. I’ve been telling myself I need to start adding to the emails of my reps, and used this list as the reason to start.
Ah, Jim Clyburn, the jackass who helped Biden win the primary and put us on the path to the second Trump term.
Well that was nice of them to make a list of who wants to be primaried
God damn right. Primary every last one of those gutless fuckers and never cast another vote for any of them if they represent you.
The US is an inescapable hell. I pity the people living there right now.
unfortunately, a lot of americans don’t have the means to leave :/
Also, good luck even getting a visa in a developed country unless you have a master’s degree
Every time I read “land of the free” I cringe. Good luck.
Same. Land of the free to get reamed by rich fuckers
You people starting to realize that these ‘Democrats’ are just in there for the money like Republicans are, you need to clean the party
What the actual fuck is wrong with these idiots?
The day Americans realized no one was coming to save them 🫂
AIPAC dark money paying for itself thousands of times over.
128 senators show their true republican colours…
House reps. There are only 100 senators total
As if the Republicans in Congress would have allowed this impeachment to go through punished. His J6 one while he was found responsible, they chose not to punish him over it. They would have brought up the time that Obama did something similar, too.
There’s a reason I call them Republicrats. Although I suspect this specifically is because they want future Democrat presidents to be able to blow shit up in the Middle East at will too.
He’s already been impeached twice in his previous presidency, he shouldn’t even be sitting where he’s at
I am so cynical already that i laughted out loud reading it.
You cant convince me otherwise but that this world is a TV show for the gods!
