Useless. Time for the Social Democrats to form their own party.

    Here is the full list of Democrats that voted to table the articles of impeachment.

    Find yours, call them, and let them know they’ve failed to represent the people interests.

      On the other hand, if they did vote for impeachment, call them and tell them to keep up the good fight.

      Thank you. One of my representatives, Gabe Vasquez, is on the list and I messaged him. Funny that he put out a press release condemning the actions of bombing Iran but doesn’t want to support impeachment. What a turd.

      I wish the office came with a mandate that they’d personally have to field constituent calls 4 hours a week.

      But like so much else, they aren’t going to legislate accountability for themselves.

      And then send them out to pasture like Andrew Cuomo.

      It can be done. Do it enough, and you’ll have a party that actually represents the people.

        Yup, that’s what democracy is supposed to be all about giving engaged citizens the tools to change the system to reflect their values!

      Also, if your rep is not on the list, call their office and express your appreciation that they voted to move forward with impeachment.

      Ro Khanna doing his standard move of cycling back and forth between pretending to be a progressive and just being utterly spineless.

      I truly hope “refused to impeach President Trump” becomes a purity test in the next primary. That’s a lot of incumbents to kick to the curb, but with this vote it’s well warranted.

        Only problem with this method is that there are those who voted for his first few impeachments but not this latest one, so they can say they have in the past but not specify which one.

        Also it’s a sad state of affairs that we have a President whose been impeached several times.

          Give a date and time. Motherfuckers you don’t get credit for kinda representing the party sometimes.

      Well, I’ve just sent emails to the representatives that I could. Probably half of the ones from my state prevented emails from going out because my address didn’t fall in their district.

      Reminder that you can also do this if your rep voted against tabling to express support for what they’re doing and they they’re representing you well.

      I looked up the ones in my state, and I’m just gobsmacked at how fucking ugly the districts are. I know gerrymandering is bad, but when I actually have to see it… /puke

      TBH they’re representing my interests pretty well in this case. An impeachment trial would have just been a huge waste of time unless 20 Republican Senators joined the 47 DNC caucus to remove Trump and I can tell you right now with a 99.9% certainty that wasn’t going to happen.
