Useless. Time for the Social Democrats to form their own party.

    Still “both sides are not the same”? Even if Democrats have slight majority in both or either houses, they still dilute policies to appease the fascists from stonewalling. Meanwhile, the fascists legislate every unspeakable evil policies and Democrats don’t even try to resist as opposition.

    Called it. People need to set their expectations way lower so they aren’t so pissed off about the lack of action from this party. They should also read up on the legal precedents that were going to sink these articles to begin with. Democrats would have a much better chance to impeach some of the Donvict’s shitty cabinet members, (Pete Hegseth, ICE Barbie, RFK, DOGE) for clearly impeachable offenses, but decided to swan dive into an empty concrete pool. So there is still no sound strategy from the democrats on how to dismantle this nightmare and only pissing the public off with limp wristed slaps.

      Maybe we shouldn’t lower our expectations and instead remove everyone from the Democratic party that doesn’t meet out expectations.

    This goes to show that the problem isn’t Trump or the Republicans, the problem is the United States of America. The only way things are going to get better is if America is removed from its position of global power and influence. If you care about fighting fascism and tyranny, you need to boycott American products, refuse to work for American companies and, if you’re already working for an American company and can’t quit, drop your productivity as far as possible. Do everything in your power to damage the American economy and reduce their power.

      As Americans we have no choice in the matter. We’re forced to power the empire like the human batteries in The Matrix in order to survive. And just like in the movie, we’re born into a prison that we can’t smell or taste or touch. We truly are the most propagandized people in history.

      How does this fix the government?

      Edit: I realized that is a US-centric question. Allow me to modify it.

      How does that fix anything?

    Sounds like some independents are about to be entering office. The people need to stick it to these paid traitors. They get paid a fuckton more than you with your tax dollars and then take money from special interest groups on top of that to fuck you over some more. Are you getting your money’s worth America? Get these assholes out of office and put in some actual difference makers. The founding fathers are rolling in their graves watching what the country has become. Shame on all of you. Kick these losers to the curb.

    I wonder what the reasoning is. Do they really hate the idea of Iran having nukes? Do they really like keeping Israel as an ally? I don’t know, as a regular voter, what Israel does for us. They seem very unpopular

      They pay your politicians so that your politicians take your tax money and buy Israel guns with it from your arms companies, who give your politicians money so that your politicians buy their guns and send them to Israel.

      They also destabilize a region with hundreds of millions of people, whose countries have vast resources and sit on critical trade routes. If people in West Asia were united, they would quickly move on to become a geopolitical power-house rivaling the EU. if all Muslim countries were to work together, they would be the global superpower.

      Oh and of course racism. Lots of racism and murdering brown people. The US and many European countries love that.

      It’s important for the Jews to control the reigon before the apocalypse can start.

      It’s the core defining beleif of Evangelical Christians, which the Republican party has been controlling with corrupt pastors since at least the Nixon administration

    Rep Paul Tonko is one of the NY reps that voted no to impeach. I work 2 blocks from his office and plan to spend my lunch hour every day demonstrating in front of his Albany office. I already called his office to bitch. I’ve got printed letters that say, “Congratulations, you’re a fascist collaborator.” Going to be stuffing those in envelopes with glitter and putting one in the mail every single day. Give me your best for my protest signs.
