They Keep Saying...

People who claim to be progressive yet support the Democratic Party Leadership keep saying the same things... They say that liberals and progressives need to back the moderate/conservative Democratic candidate because they can beat the Republican. They say that there needs to be more moderate/conservative Democrats to show that, "We have a big tent." They say that these same Democrats who end up vote for Republican legislation did so because they were tricked or manipulated.

Now, has Trump done anything to warrant impeachment? In a world where Bill Clinton was impeached because he lied about oral sex, I really can't be sure myself. But to take that weapon out of the picture, much like she did when the Democrats regained Congress under the Bush Administration, handicaps the Democrats. When Obama was president, Republicans dropped impeachment threats all the time. We all knew they weren't going to do anything (either their case was flimsy or the person making it had little credibility), but the threat served three purposes: It let the President know that they will be watching his every move for screw-ups; It let the party's base know that they are worth being in the majority; It let the opposition party know that they should play nice (whether they were in power
