This is the way.

Do whatever you can to immediately stop the war crimes, health crisis, and the gestapo and their concentration camps, then focus on policy to improve the lives of Americans.

Let Trump watch his power slip, his actions be undone, and his “allies” abandon him, all while he gets more and more afraid.

This may be a ridiculous comparison, but I just had the thought of Trump basically as Pennywise; you have to undo the fear that he feeds on to make him small and powerless before you can squash him 😅

So by your own admission, impeachment is both impossible to do and utterly futile.

The problem you have is that you still think that Trump and the GOP are the same thing. Trump cares only about himself, and will throw the GOP under the bus in an instant if he thinks it'll do him some good.

Dems should go to him with a deal like this. Sign Medicare For All and we'll call it 'TrumpCare." Let him blame Pete H for the Iran War and sign a treaty. Let him be President for the next two years and then destroy him in state courts.

The main thing you're overlooking is that the people who voted for Trump three times and then voted Blue last night have no loyalty to the Dems of the Left. They care about $6.00 gas. Give them what they want.

Gas costs an average of $5.87/gal in California vs $3.37 in North Carolina. Electricity costs 29.75c/kWh in California vs Nevada which is 12.72c. LNG in California costs $21.25 per Mcf vs Utah at $12.78.

It's true that they can't pass any national laws, but states have immense power within their borders to make the lives of their constituents better. They can and should demonstrate competence in their state if they want to convince voters to give them more national power. This is their chance.

See my comment further up the thread.

The tl, dr is that Trump will throw the GOP under the bus in a second if he thinks it will do him some good.

The main goal of the Dems right now is making the people who voted Blue for the first time last night vote Blue again and again and again.

Impeachment doesn't mean removal from office.

He's already been impeached. Twice.

No. People care about accountability. Corruption was a big factor in this election. It shouldn’t be one or the other. They should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.

The reason impeachment is even in discussion is because we have a president who would rather burn the country down while blaming the Democrats, than compromise.

Hell, compromise is even the wrong word, they could pass the "Trans ban tax cut deregulation super bill" and he would still veto it out of spite.

Without presidential support or a super majority, Democrats main tools are investigations and impeachments. If anything, that gives them leverage or a shot at getting someone into the Oval Office not obsessed with retribution.

Republicans in both chambers could take a hint and help pass things without the president, but it's more likely they're doing the political calculus and coming to the decision that resisting Democrats passing popular bills is the best shot they have at the GE in 2 years ago they can say "See, the blue wave was useless and Democrats can't govern."

This isn't me pre-appologizing for Democrat inaction, it's the reality of how our political system works - having a simple majority in one of the three beaches of government isn't free reign to do whatever you want.

Democrats need to focus on one thing and one thing only, cost of living

100%

And they're probably not going to because most don't actually give a damn if people are starving.
