Yet again Republicans think Democrats are way cooler than they are.

    It's going to have the opposite effect in time. If center-right moderates are called radical Marxists, then they might as well at least be social democrats or democratic socialists anyway and at least have some sound policies instead of watered-down right-wing garbage.

    Well, they kind of have but that's also relative. Were it not for AIPAC's grip in the party, I wonder how much further they would've gone.

    That's years old right wing propaganda spread by the likes of Alex Jones for years. They use the 'socialism' in "national socialist" (part of the term Nazi comes from) to argue so, ignoring the fact that anyone can make a name whether or not it's true. If any socialist plans were made by the Nazis, it was of course racist first; only the in group gets any benefit.

    These are old ideas that were niche at first but have been moving out into the public as the right shifts the Overton window. Stuff we'd dismiss at ridiculous crazy yelly conspiracy man is now mainstream even with people who might not want to be associated with Jones.

    Yeah, I love that one. "They have socialist in the name!" So you believe the People's Democratic Republic of Korea is all of those things?

    The Nazis have socialist in the name because they joined with socialists in the early days to consolidate power and then they killed the socialists. Who what it they first came for in that poem? The fucking socialists.

    I wouldn't be getting my hopes up.

    If there's one thing watching US politics, from Europe these last +20 years, has taught me, then it's this:

    Even with a solid majority, the house and senate democrats will be too full of individual self-interests too do anything of the sort.

    The democrats need something like the heritage foundation to effectively herd them into a unified collaborating political party.

    It's not individual self-interests, it's pretty blatant corruption to protect their donors, the US oligarchs. Any real investigation into republicans will implicate "democrat" billionaires as well.

    No matter how radical any republican may think the left could be, the current people in charge are both actively protecting pedophiles, and are, themselves, guilty of abusing children.

    Maybe we need some radical left right now, eh? Maybe the child rapists shouldn't be in charge.

    can trump even be impeached anymore? as legally, whatever he does isn't a crime?

    legally, he's a tyrant and the law protects him.

    Impeachment doesn't go through the courts but is entirely a matter for Congress. They can impeach him for anything or nothing as long as they have the votes.

    He was already impeached twice, they will do nothing besides symbolic tasks. so many people belong in jail, yet legally, that is now not possible because nothing trump does is illegal. and the dems will make a show of an impeachment then not remove him

  • source

    Impeachment is one half of the process. If the Dems held a supermajority in the Senate he would have been removed.

    Yes, this requires a lot of things to have been different, and everyone would have had to be following the intent of the constitution, not just the letter, but there exists a way to remove him and put him in jail.

    You can throw your hands up and say he's immune from any consequences, but if everyone did that then it would really be true.

    I'm not saying people should blindly hope and do nothing, but quitting is exactly what they want.

    If a Democrat said what Mike Johnson was saying, the party would kick that person out for being unelectable.

    Democrats don't want anyone interested in impeachment. They want serious, moderate, business friendly, popular politicians like Henry Cuellar and Robert Menendez.

    There will just be a Dem Boogeyman for everyone to blame on why the party never does anything like Manchin and Sinema. They always just so happen to find a couple whenever they have a majority so they never have to actually do anything.

    Issue is, that won't necessarily happen, because a lot of democrats are cowards, and the right knows it. Many on the right calls this move of calling the opposition radicals in this way as a form of "cucking", so it shames some of them into preemptively conceding.

    Democrat POLITICIANS are cowards, Democratic VOTERS are NOT. They are angry, and they want to go to WAR with MAGA, but our battlefield general is Schmuck Schumer, and he's a smarmy, insipid little bitch, and is more interested in insider trading than being the courageous warrior leader we need. He doesn't care at all who's in charge, as long as he can keep making money. PedoCons are fine with him. He's their best Democrat friend.

    AOC needs to primary him, and kick him out of the Senate in humiliating fashion, just like she did to the calcified old fart whose Congressional seat she first took.

    Oh yeah is that 10 million less voted for Harris and handed the presidency to a convicted felon pedophile?

    That's not bravery. That is selfish, irresponsible and stupid.

    AOC doesn't seem to have any problem with voting to give more money to Israel, but I guess we'll just pretend that didn't happen.

    It will happen with a Democrat majority. It just doesn't mean anything because unless they have a supermajority and can get enough reps to agree on removal, impeachment ≠ removal from office. It's just the start of a trial to consider his removal. It's basically a slap on the wrist for him. He's already been impeached twice and nothing happened.

    My concern if the dems do impeach Trump IF they win the midterms is that either he will not step down (which he can technically do) and then it’s moot. Or we impeach Trump, get Vance and then because he didn’t suck as bad as Trump we get another 4 years of a republican president.

    Impeaching the kumquat in chief, at this point, is pointless. Even without the brainless leader, the system and people that allowed him to gain the office and to systematically destroy the United States economy, among other things, is still in place. Another crackpot maniacal leader is inevitable.
