21. Salon has been going out of their way for years to disparage the Democratic party, and they

demonstrated that well with their abundance of anti-Hillary articles during the general election

The author of this piece is Andrew O'Hehir, with such things as this:

Not Amanda Marcotte

It is the typical let's divide the Democrats bullshit that Salon is so well known for

Dumpster will be beat in Nov'20...Gone in Jan'21...the Senate ...irrelevant to ridding us from the Orange peel

14. Thank you for disagreeing with me with monkey butt flies

That made me laugh. seriously we all need to laugh. We need the senate to pass all 275 House bills, investigate and remove federal judges who obtained their lifetime appointments through fraud. We need the senate to remove Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Thomas. We need the Senate to take back the Congress' war powers. We need the senate overturn Citizen's United. Reinstate the Independent Counsel statute and develop DOJ policy to indicate a president can be criminally indicted. That's just ones off the top of my head.

4. Cool Story, Bro , !

[Phoenix61]

5. Did you even read this! It's pushing that Hunter

Biden was “not squeaky clean” WTF does that even mean? It’s clear the writer doesn’t like Pelosi and would have preferred a “younger” speaker. What could possibly have gone wrong with that plan.

6. This is your 26th post? That's not obvious. Nah. Not at all.

[COLGATE4]

12. Exacrly!

[Lexee]

8. All the Democrats have is the house. I think they have done pretty good fighting Trump on all fronts

With Republicans having Senate, President, and judicial and media.

[Karadeniz]

9. How to talk out of both sides of your mouth.

[LuvLoogie]

11. Nancy Pelosi Adam Schiff Jerry Nadler doing great work

And DU has their backs, so enjoy your stay.

19. Whatever, Melania

Nice shoes.

13. does the opinion of the author...

match your own? Do you think it's a waste of time, for the Democrats to use the only tool available to them? Should they just shut-up and go away? Impeachment isn't going to do a damn thing, and no one is expecting it to. Impeachment offers the American people to see a tiny glimpse of what the Republican Party, and this President have done. There will still be hearings, there's far too much to investigate. Hopefully, those investigations will lead to criminal charges at some future date

15. Here's an article from O'Hehir, dated September 22, 2019...

in which he complains that the Democratic leadership is dragging its feet on impeachment, specifically related to the Ukraine matter:

https://www.salon.com/2019/09/22/doomed-delusional-divided-and-corrupt-how-the-democratic-party-became-a-haunted-house/

I’m not just talking about the endless, dispiriting dithering over whether or not to impeach the obvious criminal in the White House, although that has been both patronizing and cowardly, a combination most often achieved by parents with something to hide. (Something, of course, that the kids already know).

That particular failing was thrown into strong relief this week after reports that President Trump tried to arm-twist the president of Ukraine into digging up (or perhaps inventing) damaging information on Joe Biden, approximately the 10th scandal of Trump’s presidency that would have ended the career of any normative, old-school politician. Even mainstream congressional Democrats and sympathetic media commentators have begun complaining openly about the leadership’s inaction — but there is no serious indication anything will change. With the Iowa caucuses now 16 weeks away, Nancy Pelosi has pretty well accomplished her goal of running out the clock on impeachment.

BTW, he's quite an ineloquent writer, elevated quite unremarkably to executive editor of Salon. which means, of course, that he really, really hates Democrats. Except, of course, for the Democrat-of-convenience:

Make no mistake: Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign was a historic moment of rebirth for the American left and injected unexpected new energy into the Democratic Party. Historians and political scientists will be unpacking its effects for decades.

Yechhh.

FTR, I didn't read all of the article cited in the OP, nor the one I've just cited. I don't think it's actually possible. This fetid, sophomoric neo-journalism is boring as shit.

22. The guy is a jerk, and it is typical of the garbage that Salon has been doing for years
