Fucking traitors

Not surprised, just disappointed. They're all complicit

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...

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.

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

[–] AdmiralWhiskersIV@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

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.

That's confusing, given all Republicans voted Nay.

[–] ernest314@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Alternative link corroborating the original article: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/119-2025/h175

I'm not sure what's going on with the first link, but that website is impossible to navigate for me.

[–] AlfredoJohn@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago

Nice so the site is down now what a joke

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

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

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.

[–] mienshao@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

2025 America is a post-law country.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At least for the rich and powerful

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

That's fair!

Call your representative and tell them you won't vote for them if they don't support impeachment.

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.

It's just like in the playground; almost everybody want to stand up to the bully, but nobody has the guts. They are afraid the bully will call them names or attack. And when finally one does stand up, the others cowers in a corner.

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 22 points 1 week ago

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

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 16 points 1 week ago

Ah, the Geronocrats. Always been a disappointment throughout my entire life, before and after I became eligible to vote.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 week ago

Fucking useless.

They all wanted to bomb Iran anyway

They need their heads examined

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 4 points 1 week ago

They need their heads something, to unsociopathy them

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Name em. If it's too hard, name those who voted to proceed.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Not kill, shelve. Let's be honest, you weren't going to get dozens of GOP votes in the house and 20 in the senate to remove Trump anyways. If you want Trump gone then the only way is helping the DNCs take a huge midterm majority.
