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

      “If it won’t be successful, then work against it instead of showing support!”

        This is one of those times where the Dems are trying to quiet the kid provoking the moronic yet excitable school dean.

          Trying and trying again to improve the odds of success are better than shooting yourself in the dick if you don’t expect to succeed.

            Have fun with that. Even if Dems somehow manage to regain control I expect they’ll be just as impotent as they were 2021-2023, doing little to nothing fixing/undoing this mess, much less making any actual PROGRESS. Why do I think this do you ask? Because it’s what they ALWAYS do.

          This accomplished neither. This showed support for his blatant constitutional violations

          Warm fuzzy feelings are good. Actual results are far better.

          Which did we get in this case? Seems like neither to me.

      I mean, an Impeachment trial without any possibility of removal seems pretty pointless, yeah. It takes 67 Senators to remove. The DNC with caucus have 47. They probably don’t even have enough votes to pass a simple majority purely symbolic impeachment, much less removal from office.

      The Democratic party has always just been another branch of the wealthy. Neoliberalism is a cancer that really kicked into gear when Heritage Foundation-backed president Ronald Reagan came into office. Obama (I believe in his second term) said that back in the 80s, he would have been considered a moderate Republican.
