The problem is that repeated failed attempts to impeach galvanize his supporters and prove to the right that it doesn’t matter what they’re doing, they’ll get away with it. Which then just pushes them further. It’s not convincing anyone who doesn’t already think he’s a pedophile rapist facist, on the contrary, it’s making the people who don’t already believe that further believe that the left is just making bullshit up because if Trump were really the antichrist facist, the impeachment wouldn’t fail.

Failing to impeach Trump over and over isn’t functional progress. If the democrats want to do anything, they should spend 100% of their time obstructing every nomination and every bill put forward by this administration, and spend every other bit of time they have gumming up the works with bills we know will fail to undo the damage being done. At least in those cases there’s a potential they could actually do some good.

Trump will never be successfully impeached. Anyone who thinks so at this point is an absolute pelican.

No, but I’d still rather she be peddling the truth now than never. She doesn’t get a pass and I don’t forgive her, but I welcome anyone who wants to stop preaching bullshit, no matter how heinous the shit they used to say was.

You go ahead and keep pretending racism and sexism don’t exist, ostrich is the way.

I didn’t say that they couldn’t win, just that it was an additional hurdle a white man wouldn’t have. But I appreciate your strawman all the same, it is almost halloween.

Sexism and racism. It’s absolutely foolish for anyone to think that Americans won’t abstain from voting, or worse vote against a woman or a non-white person. It’s abysmal to think about, but it’s true.

If a woman or a non-white person runs, there will be a subset of the population who refuse to vote for them specifically because of their race or gender.

It’s why the republicans always run an old white male asshole, because no one refuses to vote for old white male assholes specifically out of principle, but a large amount of people (larger than you or I would likely think) will absolutely vote against a woman or a non-white person specifically due to their race or gender.

The whole gimmick of conservatism is to bind people you don’t like with laws while exempting people you do like from the same laws. Nothing new.

Yeah, well, an absolute shit-ton of what that dipshit has done has been blasted as unconstitutional and very little of has managed to be stopped, so you’ll forgive me if I just don’t give a shit how “blasted” his actions get if there’s no actual meaningful impact to them seeing fruition that comes from it.

You think that after the changes made to the voting systems, the SAVE voting act, the firing of people at CISA responsible for election safety and security, and the migration of the voting devices to Starlink (even with orage mussilini and muskrat falling out) that there’s ever going to be a Democratic president again? I wish I had your optimism. That’s if a state of emergency/war isn’t called that halts all elections, which is far more likely to be what happens.

Plus, the Democrats will just play good and “not stoop to the opposition’s level”, letting them just get creamed and steamrolled again in the following election, even if they do somehow manage to win. The Democrats had a chance to fight facism and they welcomed it with open arms. Without turning over nearly the entirety of the party, why does anyone think anything is ever going to change?

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, this is the real reason.

In the wake of 9/11, Congress issued a broad, many would say overly broad, Authorization for the Use of Military Force that basically granted the Office of the President open-ended permission for any conceivable martial escapade he might want in the Middle East. Every President of the 21st century has used this as the legal justification for meting destruction onto that part of the world: for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, bombings in Syria, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Pakistan, as well as our little-publicized offensive in Northeast Africa.

Due to this, what Trump did is legal. Unfortunately it seems people just want to shoot the messenger now if they say something they disagree with, even if they’re correct.

I 100% support removing Trump from power through impeachment and absolutely think he’s a threat to democracy, but throwing bullshit articles of impeachment at him over and over just galvanizes his base when he continually shrugs them off.
