In reply to the discussion: How In The Hell Is Netanyahu Still In Power ??? [View all]former9thward
(33,424 posts)40. I oppose impeachments which are purely meant to throw red meat at the base.

As far as your first question I wish political parties in the U.S. were based on ideology. They are not. They are based on regional and various interest group coalitions to win elections. What was in the Democratic party platform at the recent convention? I did not see a single post on DU discussing it.
