Lacking support from party leaders, Rep. Al Green and progressives’ bid to launch punitive inquiry over ‘Midnight Hammer’ bombardment fails

Useless. Time for the Social Democrats to form their own party.

    … are you seriously implying that any gains the party makes are pointless if they don’t hit the 2/3rds threshold?

    I’d sit this one out if I were you, take the time to brush up on politics and critical thinking.

      On the topic of Impeachment, yes, it means fuck all to primary these congressmen over not holding a silly ritual with no real consequences.

      Ditto for anything that requires a constitutional amendment or defeating filibuster like undoing citizens united or passing medical for all. We need to Remove the GOP, not just get better DNC.

        “A silly ritual with no real consequences”

        … aside from

        • doing their sworn duty
        • showing the people they still care and are trying
        • paper trail of accusations, arguments, etc
        • VOTES - you get to see how everyone voted, which helps generally with ads during election time, and specifically when it comes time to hold sedition trials on all these Nazi collaborators.

        Again, you’re another person who needs some lessons on politics and procedure before commenting.

        Note: my bad, you’re still the same under educated, unqualified commenter as before.

          • doing their sworn duty to get paid to talk a lot, pass no laws, and not remove the perpetrator
          • showing the people they still care and are trying to get paid to talk a lot, pass no laws, and not remove the perpetrator
          • paper trail of accusations, arguments, etc which exist whether or not they get paid to talk a lot, pass no laws, and not remove the perpetrator
          • VOTES - you get to see how everyone voted on whether or not to get paid to talk a lot, pass no laws, and not remove the perpetrator, which helps generally with ads during election time, and specifically when it comes time to hold sedition trials on all these Nazi collaborators after the GOP are reduced to an extreme minority of congress.
