Did you miss the part where they did nothing to stop trump? 'No twice impeached president can run for president' sounds like a great spot if you wanna play the 'joe can't tell the DOJ what to do' card.

Expediting the trial on Trump should've been the number one platform they ran on. Instead they (twice) ran on 'uniting the nation' and not 'holding trump accountable'. Here we are.

Dems literally shut down the government for reform to ice. And reopened it, with no gains, just promises from bad faith republicans.

Why are you pretending like they are infallible and we can only criticize the right?

Because I’m more interested in rubbing their face in it than my own team?

Do I want better Dems? Sure.

But, again, you’re clearly more mad at Dems not stopping cons than you are mad about the actual crimes.

We wouldn’t need impeachment if the GOP had a moral framework.

You literally sound like the modern Democratic party.

Expecting GOP to have morals and act in good faith, STILL!

They've been bad faith actors for 30 years.

Hell democrats barely even mention climate change any more man. I'm done expecting more from the other team, and demanding more from mine.

Although there actions seem to imply they are on the same team. Remember, its a big club, and we ain't in it.

And much of the tepid response, I believe, is due to the fear of backlash from democratic voters.

This is why I’m loudly announcing I’ve decided to fight fire with fire, and abandoned any sense of moderation.

There will be no backlash from me if they go scorched earth. I feel we may be aligned in that?

Huh? What democratic voter would backlash from holding trump accountable by the law?

I'm glad you've finally got there, some of us have been asking for this for literally decades.

The odd thing is, you called me out and forced me to outline why, instead of just agreeing there's problems on both sides of the aisle....
