Tlaib submits impeachment resolution with support of one other Democrat

[BlueWI]

12. Thanks for the post!

The depth and intensity of this risk-averse attitude towards impeachment is baffling. Certainly impeachment would be a risk. But it's also an action that the Democratic caucus has the power to do. Waiting till 2020 when there are several known impeachable offenses is a risk too, and it had better work out.

While I can understand the preference not to pursue impeachment as a political calculation, I do not get the judgmental attitude that is directed towards Democrats who support impeachment. Why isn't more grace given to Democrats who prefer a different strategy than the so-called "long game"? The election interference has been known since 2015. How long will the game be?

It must be nice for the president to know that the opposition party is so fearful of Fox News that they vigorously police their own conversations about impeachment.

Think about how different the results would be if Democrats committed similar offenses. Republicans would be tripping over themselves with excitement, and I bet DU would be firmly on the side of impeachment too under those conditions. How ironic!

So thanks for speaking up. I wish more of us did.
