It's a game. Don't know what was involved in this particular legislation. Don't know if they see a better way? Don't know anything. But the finger pointers are so smart. Look, look over here!!! Spineless! Primary! Do they even elect Democrats?

Rep. Al Green invoked Rule IX to force every single Representative to vote.
House leadership opted to vote not on the articles themselves, but on a motion to table the Resolution, which further delays impeachment proceedings.
Tabling this means that no impeachment will happen right now.

For them it might be about something else...like 'work'. I suppose there are people only interested in that, but there actually are people whose job it is to represent the people of their state. Not play a part but do a job. Don't know what that bill was comprised of, and if some may feel another time would be more beneficial, or something about the language? Who knows? Has zero to do with anything. My Representative voted to table it. I am completely okay with his decision-making process and will not be contacting him. Why is it people just don't go to the source for explanations? Spines and primaries are all theatrics too.

To representatives offices trying to ask questions or get feedback and I've never heard a peep. It would be more effective for me to stand in the back yard and scream at the trees.

At this particular moment symbolism is all we have. We can do nothing else. People are tired of speeches and letters of concern. The push back at committee hearings are good as well.

While the vote may not do anything people need hope and they need to believe that Democrats in Washington are fighting this insanity through every possible avenue.

I actually switched parties to independent after the Iraq War vote but switched back before the next election because I volunteered for Barack Obama's campaign. There is so much that has led us to where we are, and it is not Democrats. It's human beings of which I am one. I'm sorry for my stupid need to defend, I need to ignore.

>> When people complain about Democrats being worthless and doing nothing, I will remember this.
What you should remember is that the Democrats are not in charge and the Democrats do not have the majority. These theatrical votes and handwringing are ALWAYS going to fail. Failure after failure makes us look weak. Let's focus on what's POSSIBLE rather than chasing this fantasy.

True leadership transcends those types of theatrics. Authentic leadership is demonstrated through composure, reason, and a steadfast commitment to progress. The substance of one's actions speaks volumes louder than any theatrical displays. Let's raise the bar and focus on what truly moves us forward. I'm glad to see that more Democrats agree with me on this.

Are you telling me they're scared of losing votes because voters will think they will impeach and remove if we get the majority back in Congress?

I've heard that lame excuse already.

If the shoe were on the other foot, you could be damn sure the Republicans would have voted unanimously to impeach.

A show of solidarity might have had an effect

The effect this has is enabling and emboldening him.

in the face of a despot is not an exercise in futility, no matter what the "Senate" does.

It doesn't matter what a senator thinks to me.

What matters is showing me that when we are on the streets marching, Democrats have our backs.

That is NOT what this showed me, and I believe the majority of Democrats feel the same way.

Tue Jun 24, 2025, 09:15 PM

I agree that there was no way impeachment was going to happen even if not table, but what I don’t understand is why that result is necessary for success. I believe that messaging and counter propaganda is the only real weapons the democrats have for the time being. This may have provided an opportunity to get more media coverage of this administrations missteps. Trump has been shown to cave under pressure from special interests and from public pressure. Why not apply some? This result just gives the media a chance to spin this as “most democrats don’t believe Trump has done anything impeachable.”

Why are many the law and order types here all of a sudden dropping strict adherence to the constitution, laws, and rules in favor of more pragmatic concerns? If Trump has done anything impeachable, it is our lawmakers’ attempt to have hearings about this matter.

If you are a pragmatist and believe the democrats don’t control any of the levers of power, why are you so concerned with their time wasted? Are you expecting bipartisan cooperation? Wasted Democratic Party time also equals wasted Republican Party time. Also, I’m guessing putting some pressure on the weaker members of the Republican House would not be an altogether bad thing? The endgame does not have to be impeachment itself.

Also, I believe we should carefully consider what the Democratic Party leadership has strategized, but I also believe this ceases to be a forum if we acquiesce to their every decision in some misguided appeal to their authority.
