All the hand wringing over the kabuki theatre we witnessed is

[Pisces]

Not getting us closer to removal. Everyone knew the outcome before this started. It is why Pelosi tried to avoid it like the plague. We better pick a candidate soon and fight like hell for them. We have just wasted time and energy on another win for him and another loss to our American institution and norms.

1. Doesn't matter who we pick if the election is rigged...

That’s why this had to happen - at least more people are paying attention.

3. and hopefully

his poll numbers will go down.

2. fighting over Biden and Sanders

we are not in a good place

[bdamomma]

4. I thought

we were going to rally around whoever the candidate is. This is for the soul of our country.

[Skittles]

5. I think people will support the candidate

but you cannot make them excited about it

[maxsolomon]

7. Amen, Skittles.

Neither are the right choice.

[Skittles]

13. it is so hard to understand

really, it is

[we can do it]

6. A real Democrat as our candidate.

8. I don't think it was a waste, I think it was a rally cry.

9. Your post makes me very angry

So?? Our Congress members are just supposed to fucking ignore the crimes this administration has committed?? I applaud them LOUDLY AND STRONGLY for standing up for the Constitution and for the American people, A WASTE OF TIME??? I THINK NOT!!!

10. It was not a win for Trump or the Republicans.

He will always be an impeached President and they have to spend the next year campaigning while trying to explain why they covered up the misconduct that they admit he committed and cannot defend.

75% of the country wanted to see witnesses and documents and they just spat in their face.

Removal by the Senate was never the endgame.

14. His base and Republican voters who don't like him are still going to vote for

Him. They don’t care. He will claim a win and say vengeful Democrats lost. He will claim victory even if we don’t agree. The Republican voter will not be deterred because of Impeachment.

11. He didn't "win" anything.

He didn't even win the election.

Stop the nay saying and get on board and do something.

[Pisces]

15. I am on board, just pointing out why Oelisi was trying to avoid this!

[cry baby]

12. It was not a waste of time.

He is impeached forever.
