We have less than a year!

So, after the conclusion of the things “The speaker of the House” is doing a big nothing. The best case we have is 10 counts of obstruction! Just so I’m being clear we control 1/2 of 1/3 of government... the only real power we have is impeachment and we are holding our hand for what?!? The time is now! We aren’t guaranteed reelections! We won the house on a “Do something damnit” agenda and we haven’t delivered. If you are a Nancy apologists or milquetoast moderates you may want flag this but at some point as the landscape becomes clearer to you, the blame shifting will begin. You will blame progressives for scaring the middle. You will blame Republicans for being ignorant. You will even blame whoever is on the top of the ticket for not being inspiring but at the end of the day it will be you lot for not demanding action and being ok with politics over principle and practice! Start impeachment inquiries ,take them slow! Drag them out for 6 or 9 months make them slow painful and on the news everyday. Make the conventions a referendum on the criminal in the White House. Trump will win re-election if we don’t because the economy is booming! (Well so says the talking heads on the TV.) We can offer free-education, health care, or whatever but if we can’t show we are willing to fight no one will believe us and no one will be motivated to “just have us there”.
