for all his talks, Ted Lieu still doesnt have the balls to impeach.
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.
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.
Why people keep thinking the democrats will ever be more than passive bystanders to corruption and greed. They benefit regardless who's in charge as long as it's not left of them
Cowards the lot of them. I'm sure as well having AOC at the forefront the majority of the useless Elissa Slotkin-style useless libs squashed this out of spite
This is a train wreck from beginning to end, with only one winner: Trump.
It was stupid to call for an impeachment vote in the first place, because it had zero chance to succeed. It's quite lame as a symbolic gesture too, because a failure is a failure in the books no matter what the intentions are. And you put your own party members in a position where they can only lose either way. This is terrible from a political strategy standpoint unless your explicit goal is to divide the party, which in turn weakens the party even more. A sad and unnecessary shit show all the way. The only hope left is that Trump dies laughing.
Eh, splitting the party (or at least exposing the division within the party) is a long shot, but it's really the only productive way forward if the Democrats want to actually change and fix things. Repeatedly exposing Democrats that vote against the people's interests is the most surefire way to get those Democrats voted out and replaced with more progressive candidates. Failing that, breaking away from the Democratic party and forming a new more progressive party isn't the worst long-term option, even if it (probably) won't be very effective in the near-term.
Representative Mike Lawler, a New York Republican, wrote on X: "This is absurd on its face. The United States has not declared war since 1942 and has conducted over 125 different military actions since that time, including in Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Presidents of both parties have relied on Article II authority, as well as AUMFs [Authorizations for Use of Military Force], to conduct targeted strikes and have not been subject to impeachment. In 2011, Barack Obama conducted an 8 month campaign in Libya to topple Gaddafi."
We should have never been involved in any of that shit since WW2. 125 bad decisions don't justify an additional bad decision.
What the god damn fuck?
Elon sent them a private message on Xitter that said he will fabricate evidence of them texting minors, or the donors are threatening them with pulling campaign funds.
Seems an own goal. It's not like it was going to pass anyway, since every single republican unsurprisingly turned it down.
Put him in a bigger peach this time, so he can't get out
I don't know what's the fuzz is all about
They know you guys will vote blue no matter who
You know you will do it. Hell you all will eat shit if the Dems tell you to
It's basically a pure distilled nothing burger with virtue signaling fries on the side
I am going to point to this every time i get told to vote blue no matter who, or when i am told i am not allowed to criticize the Democratic Party because republicans exist.
Primary. Every. Single. One.
a P.E.S.O. for president Taco's followers, good pitch
One taco? That'll be 128 PESOs.
Edit: that's about 6€ or $7.50 USD. These must be LA tacos.
Traitors, every last one
There is a new website tracking whether politicians will go on the record to be against bribery.
I wonder if they will note this?
I hate questions like this. Because for conservatives, taking bribes isn't an exclusionary issue. They would vote for the literal Antichrist if it meant they could oppress someone.
Sure they might care that their particular conservative representative not take bribes but if that representative took bribes but was also racist, they are going to vote for them.
