Revolution in the streets everyone! Let’s go if they don’t want change we will give them change.

Why would we want to impeach Trump?

Trump's approval wasn't affected, if anything it went up. Republicans increased their support of dear leader. It just wastes time and effort so we can say Trump was impeached.

And for what? Who cares? Are we trying to look good for the history books?

The fascists are infighting and Trump's approval in tanking. Impeachments are more likely to reverse that than to accelerate the process.

People act like this counts as some appeasement or enabling of Trump... as if third times the charm! Two of these bombs were dropped on MAGA and did fuck all. It's not exactly "pulling punches" to not waste a third one.

Americans are the biggest cowards in the world.

What a fucking timeline, this is incredible 😳

Edit: and I don't mean this in an insulting manner, I truly feel bad for them. Barbarians are taking over the Rome, everyone is fucked...

They all wanted to bomb Iran anyway

Hence why I won’t be voting for my Dem Rep in the next election we may have. Fuck that collaborator bitch.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (6 children)

You think voting independent will help?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think we’re beyond help.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Exactly. Best we can do is try to limit damage

How much proof do you need to understand they are working in concert to usher in an imperial fascist police state. The Democrats don’t oppose the Republicans, they oppose YOU. To them, YOU are the threat.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

The political system is completely fucked. I think going grassroots with direct action is currently the best way to both resist, and build horizontal decentralized power that isn't prone to corruption.

  1. find local communities and get involved to make connections
  2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This targets the establishment's income streams, and can bring a fascist government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
  3. Contact a union and attempt to unionize your workplace so that the general strike is even more effective (plus, ya know, better pay and working conditions as a bonus!)

This method would not only work in the US, but anywhere in the world.

Union Suggestions:

  1. Continuing to participate in publicly visible resistance demonstrations like 50501 (the next one is July 17th) to encourage others to stand up with you and prove to that there are millions of others who will join them in the fight. A large part of Nazi Germany's success in taking over the country was a lack of massive public demonstrations against the new regime, making people feel helpless and afraid to take a stand.

If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Look at how effective these methods were when used in Chile in 2019.. If we completely reject the political system and rebel on a mass scale, there is NOTHING they can do to stop us.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Oh yeah cause it went so well for Chile. There was a government turnover and it fragmented the political parties so much that no one can agree on anything anymore.

Oh and the new people in power are learning by improvising.

I don't disagree that it ended badly, but had the movement not been pacified by the government's bait of reform and a new constitution, it could've been revolutionary.

Your people showed the incredible potential of collective power and collective civil disobedience. The documentary shows both the victories, and the failures to learn from, just as Hong Kong did.

Roll call for this vote if you want to see how your representative voted and perhaps give them some feedback.

EDIT: The Clerk’s website went down earlier. When it came back up, it looks like they’re returning the wrong results. The vote to table the impeachment resolution was roll call #175, the number you see in the URL. It looks like it’s now displaying the results for roll call #178 on the page, a vote to adjourn. I’ve updated the link to an alternate view that seems to be returning the results for the correct vote, but please check the title of page in case this gets broken again.

Service unavailable on my end. I assume due to high demand, not censorship. I hope so at least.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Honestly at this point I feel like censorship is more likely than not.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Holy crap - We have complicit Oligarchs and not a opposition party. We as the kids say - are cooked.

I see her down in the O’s with a Nay vote. (Which, confusingly, is a vote in favor of impeachment, as the vote was to table the motion.)

So she voted No to impeach? Fucking for real.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)

no, the vote was whether to ignore the impeachment, so "no" is the correct vote here

This was a vote to table. A no vote is a vote for impeachment, or at least continue the process toward it.

[–] [email protected] 76 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They removed David Hogg from his position but vote to keep trump in his.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Hogg is a threat to the oligarchy whereas Trump, the entire Republican party, and most of the Democratic party are complicit in supporting it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They need their heads examined

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

They need their heads something, to unsociopathy them

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The law is clear. It doesn't matter if it's politically convenient or likely to succeed. If the President breaks the law, which Trump clearly has, they must be impeached.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

2025 America is a post-law country.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

At least for the rich and powerful

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Always been for the rich and powerful, 2025 isn't new territory for them.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's new that they aren't even pretending to play by the same rules

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

That's fair!
