I wholeheartedly believe Trump needs to be removed from office. A thoughtful, unified, strategic approach to impeachment is critical. For that reason, I will reserve my vote until we can make an irreproachable case to the American people and earn a two-thirds vote of the Senate. buff.ly/KF7rIlS - ThreadSky

You’re talking out of both sides of your mouth. He needs to be removed from office, but you’re going to wait for a strategy that Democrats are not creating. In not now, when? When he’s cancelled mid terms and it’s too late?

Fool

Thank you for addressing this. More and more people in IL-5 are losing patience with this administration. Impeachment is the only way forward and in encourage you to join your Democratic colleagues who have already committed to it. Be a leader!!

Real heroic there, Quigley.

Absolute cowardice and dereliction of duty.

I appreciate your response, but ponder what a "thoughtful, unified strategic approach" looks like to you. There have been numerous abuses of the Constitution, Hatch Act, etc. Additionally, would be shocked if even one Republicans would vote for impeachment.

At least you gave your constituents an explanation. I'm still waiting for my Representative to explain her vote. Here's a thought - the Dems will likely have to be in control before they could secure two-thirds vote, and if things keep going like they are, we may not even have future elections.

Fair enough. With respect, are you working on a strategy currently?

victoriouself.bsky.social•1 day ago

I see you are up for reelection next year.

That would be great if your opponent was at all thoughtful, shameable, or reasonable. He most assuredly is none of that!

Norms were off the goddamn table starting in January, so please, PLEASE start fighting with every tool you have.

What's lacking currently to not have a strategic and unified approach?

urvoteisurvoice.bsky.social•1 day ago

So you can't show your support for impeachment before you believe it's "viable"; sounds like CYA for your terrible vote. Please explain to me why I should support a political party that surrenders before they even enter the battle

We need to make every effort to bring an impeachment case to trial. We cannot table every discussion of whether individual impeachable offenses are gonna be the *one* to get him out. Help build the momentum.

tenthousandunicorns.com•1 day ago

The sooner we get to the point of finding out whether Trump will obey an impeachment, the better.

Reserve your vote for when you won't have one. Is that your plan?

I guess I'll withhold my vote until I have evidence that my reps will uphold the law and do their duties.

In other words, this will never happen.
There is pretty much no way that 2/3 of the Senate will vote to convict the Cheeto Mussolini.

There is NOTHING Tmurp has done or will do that will persuade the magats to remove him from office.

re-balance.bsky.social•1 day ago

Goalpost moved, huh You? You are not helping. Optics count. You will certainly not have 66 in the senate. So it all slides? Lead here, lead now. Or step aside. You are enabling with bs excuses.

karenkapusta.bsky.social•1 day ago

Impeach them all!

toneloaf.bsky.social•1 day ago

I still disagree with the vote but I appreciate you laying out your thinking

zebomatic.bsky.social•1 day ago

In other words, you'll continue to be silent and occupy a back bench. Can you possibly be more milquetoast, can you possibly be any more terrible as an elected representative? I wish I could vote for an empty Coke can over you.
