    These are the third articles of impeachment this term. They’re not going anywhere until after next November.

      So you agree the peaceful protests won’t bring about meaningful change in the next year or so at a minimum?

        They’re the most effective way to increase our numbers. Everyone has an opinion on the internet, yet most people still watch protests on their phones. The people who sit out protests at times like this are often the same ones who sit out midterm elections.

          I’ve already told my Rep (one of the 128) that I’m supporting her primary opponent (if there is one); should she be the name on the ballot I’m skipping her. She’s part of the Dems that had a chance to do something 2021-2023 and squandered the opportunity, leading to what we have now. Why the hell would I continue to support her?

            I agree with you if she has a bad voting record overall. This vote alone is meaningless. The point was to get it on record. An impeachment hearing would do more harm than good, knowing full well we don’t have the votes for removal.
