The Democrats must ask the American people this easy to understand question.

Do you want a Democracy or not? If Trump is not removed from office for his countless crimes, that will end our Democracy. If he is removed, you can save your Democracy. It's your choice.

they see impeachment as reversing an election, and therefore, anti-democracy.

obviously, if donnie is removed, pence becomes president, someone they also voted for, so it's not exactly a great argument.
still, for them, it's impeachment that seems anti-democracy.


to make the case that democracy is at stake, you have to focus on the cheating and criminality in order get elected. *that's* where the threat to democracy lies.

There was conspiracy and Russia intervened to make sure that their favored candidate appeared to win. That doesn't seem to be working out the way it was planned and impeachment is the Constitutional remedy for it. The Reich Wing is cheating and criminality on steroids so I doubt that
focus will have any impact on them.

And when they went after Clinton?

How come it was legitimate then?

You're not defending their double-standard, right?

studying them, analyzing them, trying to figure them out, and then trying to explain them has absolutely zero to do with defending them.

does a criminologist endorse crime?

when a military analyst analyzes and explains what the enemy is doing, are they "defending" the enemy?


they feel they're at war, so they use whatever weapon they have at their disposal, and they resent us ever using any weapon, even if it's the exact same weapon they used. they think it was proper to impeach clinton because it was their side attacking our side, and they think it's improper to impeach donnie because that's our side attacking their side. that's the full extent of their thinking.


and to clarify, no, i am not defending hypocrisy, either.
