Support among House Democrats for impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100 co-sponsors.
That’s an unprecedented level of support for an impeachment effort during President Trump’s second term, with lawmakers who have bristled at the topic in the past now warming to the idea.
Kelly is urging Republicans to get on board with her efforts — even as no GOP lawmaker has come close to expressing support for Noem’s impeachment.
“As Secretary Noem continues to lie, obstruct Congress, and violate people’s civil rights, the support for her impeachment only grows,” she said.
Lol. Bullshit.
I cut this one up awhile ago but it’s bullshit. Probably makes non-voters feel even more self righteous, but it’s bullshit.
If you want to get non-voters to vote, you need to give them a reason to vote. You’ve just seen that shouting at them and demanding that they vote for someone they don’t want to vote for doesn’t work, regardless of how severe the consequences are. You’re determined to continue along this course of action no matter how many times it fails.
The voters you need are alienated. What will you do to get them back? More of the same is not an acceptable answer, because it has to be clear to you by now that it will never work. Dismissing them entirely and moving to the right hasn’t worked either. It just alienates people the party breaks solidarity with in order to chase republican votes, and the republicans it aims to get still vote republican.
If Democrats do not change, they will continue to lose. That’s not some petulant tankie demanding perfection. That’s someone looking at political reality as it currently stands, assessing the failures of the Democratic Party, and telling you that if they don’t change, they will lose.
