    If you really believe it’s total theater without even an accidental chance of a positive outcome then why bother commenting on it? Go spend your efforts elsewhere.

    I am. I’m part of DSA. I’m marching with strikers. I’m helping teachers. I’m doing mutual aid. I’m protesting ICE and getting in the face of Proud Boys. We’re getting Socialists elected locally. I’m doing banner drops for Palestine.

    What have you accomplished lately?

        What will a 3rd impeachment accomplish that a first or second didn’t?

        Because I’d like to know: What will a 3rd impeachment accomplish that a first or second didn’t?

        From your replies, it has confirmed what I suspected: absolutely nothing. Thanks for the discussion. Cheers!

          Since you won’t accept the obvious answers, how about this: grassroots efforts that you or I push will get zero international public attention or are easily suppressed at worst. Any impeachment will automatically make the news and can’t be suppressed because the federal government is the USA’s international arm.

          This isn’t just an America problem and it’s good for the world to see a verifiable measure of resistance. Unconfimable local tweets and phone videos, shockingly, don’t do much when the opposition can invent and cherry pick their own narratives.
