People are getting fed up and I'm seeing lots of calls for her removal or donating to her challenger because she refuses to hold Trump accountable.
Trump's crimes are too egregious to just keep putting this off.

(451 posts)I live in her district. She is a big disappointment to me. Trump needs to be held accountable for his lawlessness. Pelosi needs to step up and take charge. Need more COWBELL!! If she is deluged with phone calls and emails maybe she will do something.

It's not like we should be slamming Republicans or anything. Let's just go all out on attacks on our leader.

(3,363 posts)But Democrats have powers they're refusing to use. They're still trying to play by the old rules that no longer work and they're getting nothing out of it.
Bill Barr, Lewandowski, etc. should all be held in contempt and in the House jail right now.

It is the price we pay for operating inside a RW-skewed (gerrymandering and voter suppression) paradigm.
Same thing will happened with the Public Option if we oust Rump and also take back the Senate. Some Dems there will help block it as well.
I also think that deep down, Pelosi really feels that Impeachment attempts will cost us the House in 2020. Make no mistake, if the shoe was on the other foot, the Rethugs would have already impeached a Dem president. Can you imagine if Hillary had done one one-hundredth of the shite Rump has done?!? They are ruthless and do not care about blowback, as they think they will win in the long game.

Go for a walk, chat with people at the supermarket, sitting in the park, your neighbors, the lunchroom at work, and see how many calls you run into. Don't search out MAGA types particularly, though, that'd defeat the purpose, which is self informing.
