I’m sorry, but they swore oaths to the Constitution. It’s not about practicality or what’s politically expedient—it is their duty to impeach if the president commits crimes in office, which he has. Do your fucking jobs. Wtf.
anything they can do about that?
Its not that they are trying and aren tsucceeding, its that they never even try and do not have a party platform at all.
How many betrayals since mid January from our own party?

And then they whine that they are simply powerless after they betray us again and again.
Publicily advocate their base join grassroots and decentralized movements that enact direct action since the courts and political system are completely captured by fascists and time is of the essence?
Seems like that'd be a bit more useful than what they're doing now, which is effectively nothing.
that's my point they can't do anything about impeachment, but people are shouting at the democrats like they should occupy the government or else the are nazi collaborators. the far left campaigning hard against the democrats and helping trump as always
They've filed a bunch of articles already. House speaker is a Republican.
I hope you voted for Harris and didn’t skip it.
