Instead of getting immediately butt hurt about it, just think the House is mostly Republicans. They are ride or die for Trump. He just made a trade deal with China that makes him look like he's great. It's not going to go anywhere.

So you think it’s better to do nothing because you “think” it’s pointless? Just crown Trump king already then and be done with it. I really don’t care if it seems futile. Dems should be fighting this from every angle possible.
And yet, when Rep. Thanedar introduces articles of impeachment, some denigrate him for it. I understand your perspective - like so many, I spend every day struggling to keep fighting, to increase my own impact against crushing odds, in a situation we should have prevented by fighting harder, earlier
But, the Dems have for too long refused to do all they can, on the basis that “it won’t work/we don’t have the power”. We *all* need to do everything within our power. That’s the only way, when the odds are so against us. Not an excuse to refrain from action, but a reason to take every action.
We need, every one of us, to participate in every way we can. Not, as so many I know, use hopelessness as an excuse for inaction. If a tenth of those who talk about how desperately we need to end this regime, just turned out to join the protests that others are already making happen, we’d turn…
…the tide. Add daily pressure on every lawmaker, *genuine* boycotting of the Trump-positive oligarchs, supporting unions and real journalists and the lawyers fighting on our behalf, and things would change. But, using our speech to pretend we’ve “tried everything but violence” *instead* of actually…
The Democrats are doing their job as an opposition party. If they DIDN'T introduce articles of impeachment we would rightfully be condemning them for doing nothing, and voters would conclude that both parties support Trump.
And precisely NONE of that matters. Illegal activity by the executive must be met with articles of impeachment EVERY TIME. Make House Republicans co-sign and endorse each lawless, unconstitutional act. They may not succeed today but there WILL be a day of reckoning for Trump and the GOP.
We keep doing what we're doing. The courts continue to curtail him and we keep protesting, emailing and calling our reps.
Some Dem leaders are out there fighting with us and we need to just keep the faith and keep on keeping on.
We are stronger than maga.
