The fact that this is not a party line vote for democrats shows you how completely amoral the Democratic leadership is.

MODERATORS
This has not been voted on to my knowledge. This article is just about the cosigners officially submitting the bill.
It's all symbolic, which is what DC Democrats specialize in. We have a one-party authoritarian state, and the Ruling Party will never allow it.
I can't understand why people don't see this. Democrats in the minority sure are fighters, but oh darn, they just don't have the numbers, so vote harder next time! Democrats in the majority suddenly have to be super diplomatic, lest they ruffle feathers across the aisle and lose cooperation with the political party that rarely cooperates. Keep voting hard and they'll get there, eventually!

This doesn't matter. It wont get a vote in the house or the senate without republican support. Republicans still refuse to defy their cult leader, so nothing will change until they either realize they are going to prison, or that they will lose all of their money.
The only things politicians care about is money and control, they refuse to lose both.
It doesn't even have full democrat support.
This is more kayfabe, this isn't real. We have ONE party in power, with two public facing personas.
I wish people actually looked at the money and realized that republicans and democrats all have the SAME FUCKING DONORS.
If we want to beat this, we have to flush every incumbent out of office and start fresh. We need community and organization and grassroots like they did in New York but all over the goddamn nation.

The only reason Democrats are supporting this is because its failure is ensured.
Once again the controlled opposition plays lip service to what the people want. What’s the over/under on this effort dying and then going “welp, we tried! There’s nothing we can do”
I certainly understand, and even agree with that opinion, but there IS a strategic objective possible.
The MAGA Senate will likely let her off the hook, and they'll have to run against that vote in November, when she will only be more reviled, and her poison will be dripping on anyone associated with her.
And there is always the remote possibility that enough MAGA Senators are tired of the nightmare, and decide to vote to convict her. If they do, and it looks likely to happen, the rest will all jump, too.
That's exactly what happened with the Epstein Files vote. It was supposed to get covered up, but everyone ended up voting FOR it in this exact scenario - because they didn't want to run against a No on Epstein. We have to make them fear a No on the Puppy Killer.

It seems a little silly to me that they are talking about impeaching her, but not also Trump. Like who do they think she will be replaced with? My bet is someone worse. If Trump didn't want what ICE is doing they wouldn't be doing it.
That's simply because impeaching trump is a lot harder. They are in fact talking about it too tho

Not only the Dog Murderer, the whole fucking lot needs to GTFO!
Send her ass to the hauge
It will change nothing, but still should be done for our collective conscience and historic record that we didn’t want this
The only thing this will show is which Democrats will side with Noem and/or Trump.
I that is an important metric
Hey I mean we could use a trebuchet, but I guess impeachment is... fine...
Stop talking about it and fucking do it. People are dying in the streets every day.
The democrats are totally feckless
And absolutely nothing will happen. Nice job America!
Do it! Quit fucking around!
Civil disobedience is the only answer going forward.
Start forming your own governments with your own laws. Ignore the 'legitimacy' of the US oligarchy as much as possible.
Shouldn't we want to impeach every Republican in any office ever for any reason? It's not like they've ever done anything that want literally being a terrorist.

While I hope for the best, I have low expectations of our timeline.
