20. If Democratic leadership is going rogue, ignoring the rule of law, and their duties

They deserve to be called out on it. I'm glad Elizabeth said it, more need to.
It has now become "radical" to NOT demand and initiate impeachment. A large majority of Democratic voters want it now. So Pelosi is not representing Democrats by not only refusing to start, but scoffing at members like Warren that do want to represent what Democrats want. So if Pelosi is not representing Democrats, and does not feel the need to defend the rule of law, and using ALL of Democratic powers to fight for that standard, ahead of her idea that we'd win easier without a messy impeachment, which is a huge risk, and IMO achieves the opposite, I don't know who she is supposed to be fighting for. Talk about looking diminished and subservient, jeez.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
