We're less than a year away from the Presidential election. Congress should not move to impeach Trump, but should instead let the American People decide with their vote. If they think Trump is guilty, they'll vote for someone else

Don't get me wrong I want Trump removed from office just as much as the next guy, but we should be Democratic about this.

C/D?

The entire point of this scandal is Trump trying to cheat the election. We can't afford to wait for the election he's trying to rig to deal with this.

We are being democratic about this - or rather, we're being republican. (Lack of capitalization intentional.) Our elected representatives have the power we've vested in them to do this.

Besides, if this is about interfering in an election, this can't wait.

This IS Democratic. We elected these people to uphold the the Constitution, and that's what they're doing. It it fails, then we'll use the other lever of power we have and vote him out.

What it comes down to is this is literally just a Republican talking point because they can't actually defend Trump's actions so they have to deflect the conversation entirely. Impeachment and conviction is the only constitutionally available course.

Uh, that's kinda the whole point of why the Democrats are pushing this so quickly. This is literally meant to influence the 2020 election in the hopes that people (specifically independents) will second guess voting for Trump to be reelected.

Mark my words, NOTHING will come of this impeachment. All this is, is the Dems desperately trying to get rid of Trump because they KNOW they don't stand a chance against him in the upcoming election.

D. Firstly as already stated the claim made is that he is trying to manipulate the election, if that is the case Congress should do there best to stop him.
Secondly "we think someone is misusing his power but aren't going to try to stop them from doing so, even though we have the power to stop them" is dumb as fuck.

this. the only right thing to do for congress is to impeach trump. no one is above the law and trump has constantly committed impeachable offenses. even though the senate is unlikely to remove him we will make them go on record supporting a traitor and criminal and 2018 proved that america and especially the swing states are tired of trumps shit

In the 2018 midterms, they voted for the Dems and gave them the House so that they can serve as a check on this president and hold him accountable.

There were multiple claims and discussions of it but I don't believe anything was ever formally introduced. It was always for stupid shit too. I know they were thinking about it for Benghazi.

Okay, like to make an account bet here, but first, I need to know if you understand that impeachment isn't the same as removal.

Articles of impeachment have already been drafted and submitted. Impeachment at this point is a foregone conclusion. Whether or not he'll be found guilty of the crimes he's being indicted for is another matter altogether. A jury of his peers has to decide.

We are not his peers. We are not real Americans. That's been made pretty clear.

Eh.

I get that two and a half centuries ago, democracy was the trendy thing and I definitely prefer it to the absolutism that was all the rage just prior so gj founding fathers and all

But we've really proven over and over that the people just don't make good decisions

So the less we put to a vote the better.
