It's been clear for a year that the GOP won't do anything honest without being forced.

Nancy? How long are you going to allow this?

Because if you keep playing along, you're part of it, and I'm not voting.

1. "I'm not voting."

That is, in part, how we ended up with Trump. A protest lack-of-vote because of a hearing in which a minor player confirmed what we wanted him to confirm* seems rather misguided.

Donald Trump and the political action committees for Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Lindsey Graham, John Kasich and John McCain accepted $7.35 million in contributions from a Ukrainian-born oligarch who is the business partner of two of Russian president Vladimir Putin's favorite oligarchs and a Russian government bank.

4. They were front-page news.

And many Democrats have discussed them in various forums and requested docs related to the investigation.

As for the Democrats being the same as the Republicans and doing nothing, Adam Schiff disagrees:

As does the Congressional record:

"Both sides are the same" is how we got here. It's a ludicrous assertion.

5. Not voting? Take your toys and go home?

There is, and always has been only one thing that can stop trump. The 2020 elections.

Investigations won’t do shit. Impeachment and conviction has always been and still is a joke.

Since 2016 there been too many liberals who have a fever dream that there is some crazy, non fact based way that trump can be removed by anything short of elections. It was ridiculous then, is now, and will be next November. Unfortunately some of those liberals are too frightened by the idea that only elections can stop him. So they write themselves out of the narrative allowing them to claim they knew better all along if their fears become realized. Too frightened to stay invested.

Those of us who see the world for what it is, not what we would like, will do our best to win next year.
