128 Democrats vote against impeaching Trump.

56. Which people? Who is saying this? What are they expecting? Daily rants that go nowhere?

Photo ops and crying and finger wagging that make Democrats look weak, helpless and disorganized? It's a lie to say that the Democrats have "no clear message"... People who say such things are actually saying "Democrats won't follow me into this rabbit hole of magic where if we just wish hard enough, it will happen. Instead, I hope that people just listen to what Democrats ARE saying, and stop IGNORING the message because it's different from the impossible fantasy message that some folks believe to be the only acceptable message.

It's all find and good for our Representatives to say "We're mad as hell and we're not gonna take it anymore!" but then the follow up question from the public is "Great! So what are you going to DO about it?" --- And "why aren't you doing anything?" Well, one just needs to look at the fact that the Republicans have the majority in both houses of congress and the Democrats have NO POWER.

But these types of theatrics do nothing to show that Democrats actually understand how government works. The "good that comes of it" is that they help to show that most Democrats are reasonable and that they know we're not the majority and they know we're not in charge. The good that comes of it is that hopefully it will put an END to this type of useless performative theatrics. Unless and until we gain the majority, these votes mean NOTHING except to remind everyone how desperate and powerless we are. That's not a good look.

True leadership transcends those types of theatrics. Authentic leadership is demonstrated through composure, reason, and a steadfast commitment to progress. The substance of one's actions speaks volumes louder than any theatrical displays. Let's raise the bar and focus on what truly moves us forward. Let's put our efforts toward what's actually possible... rather than investing time and money and political capital in following some fantasy that will never happen.
