Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA): "Why are Republicans are so interested in the Bill and Hillary Clinton it's because they're trying to distract from the fact that Donal...
Unfortunately, without the numbers in the house and the senate, they won’t be able to do anything. They can present articles of impeachment all they want, but they won’t get the votes from republicans.
Their best bet is to sway the court of public opinion to help flip the house and the senate. But there are so many people who won’t give a crap, and will continue voting for the guys protecting pedophiles.
Stop pretending like politicians are going to save us. 95% of them are complicit or are simply making too much money from the status quo to want to change things. We’re going to have to actually roll up our sleeves and organize ourselves if we want real change.
It is literally anti-defeatist. I am telling people to take more action to guarantee our democracy. If you still think the government wants to run a fair election this year, you haven’t been paying attention. The best way to make sure that doesn’t happen is to make sure our grassroots politics are stronger than theirs, so go out and organize!
Defeatism is acting like we only have to put up with Trump until midterms or at worst next the election cycle, while doing nothing except post on social media.
I suppose the Democratstm could fillibuster and obstruct every bill possible like the Republicanstm have for years until enough Republicanstm agree to enact the articles of impeachment.
They don’t seem to care anymore and just let them do whatever. I’d rather everything was shutdown than continue another day of doing what a child rapist wants to do

This is the defeatist shit attitude that people in power want you to have. Give up, go home, take it without lube.
You can run, you can support other candidates, you can get involved. But you are choosing defeatism.

Democrats were in power for 4 years without releasing the files. Why would they now? Or ever?
Democrats treated the DOJ as an independent agency. Merrick Garland was a horrible choice.
Because their donors were in them. They didn’t want to reveal they go to the same island.
Yes, that’s why they didn’t release them. I asked, what’s changed that means they would release them now all of a sudden?
No matter how many seats they flip, they don’t seem unable, they seem disinclined. When they were able, they chose not to.
