I'm just waiting for all those gnashing their teeth at this to turn around and tell me "vote blue no matter who" in a couple of years/months.

It'll happen in the midterms, where suddenly we're mesnt to ignore the last 6 years of policies from them and next year they'll let Charlie kick the orange football.
I mean, things would be better if we had more Dems in Congress. Definitely not perfect, not even good enough, but slightly better than this shit show.
There might be more stuff you can do in addition to voting that people don't want to discuss or encourage in public channels for a variety of reasons regardless of whether or not they would actually support that kind of stuff, but you may as well also vote if you can.
They need their heads examined
They need their heads something, to unsociopathy them
Name em. If it's too hard, name those who voted to proceed.
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.
You do realize that the impeachment isn't the goal, right? It's just the first step. If you want to forcibly remove Trump while he's still alive, you only have 2 options. 1) You need Vance and half of Trump's cabinet to formally deem him incapable of executing the powers of the office and replacing him with Vance under the 25th amendment and then (when Trump pushes back) have 2/3rds of both houses of congress vote to agree he's incapable. Or 2) Have a majority of the House vote to impeach him, and then have 2/3rds of he Senate vote to convict, which will result in his removal from office. Impeachment isn't just a formal scolding. That's called a censure. It's an indictment of a crime that will then be tried in the Senate. In both cases of impeachment last time, the spineless Senate voted to acquit. But that doesnt mean that they won't ever break ranks or that in voting to acquit they may lose votes as a result.
