Our so-called democracy is a farse

They aren't calling for him to be impeached because they don't like democracy. Your argument is based on a complete lack of understanding.

They are calling for him to be impeached because he is a compulsive liar, because his mental state is questionable, because his staff and campaign team had many questionable contacts with Russia, because he's engaged in obstruction of justice and witness tampering regarding the Russia investigation, because he is using the presidency to promote his brand and for personal profit, because he is funneling taxpayer dollars into his businesses, because he is hiding his financial and business interests, et cetera. The list just keeps getting longer and longer every single day. This has nothing to do with us. It has everything to do with Trump and his horrible judgement and unethical and unacceptable behavior. And if you don't believe me, ask his lawyers and staffers who more and more have to spend their time following him around doing damage control rather than doing the jobs they were hired to do.

Are you saying you think the president should be able to get away with crimes and misdemeanors just because it's only 4 months into his presidency? If the president has broken his oath of office then he needs to go.

Not really, Clinton had twice as much money as Trump.....and lost.

Money doesn't get votes, connecting with the voters does.

I hope democrats devote all their energy to the impeachment. They would lose even more seats in 2018.

+1. We are a republic. Trump won because we are NOT a democracy. God I wish you people took civics.

Took it in 7th grade. I don't remember all that stuff 30+ years later. Most people don't unless they have a strong interest in a particular subject.

I remember it. Why don't you remember it? It is important. Do you forget the laws as well?

The laws? The laws of what? Do you know how big the U.S. Code of "the laws" is? And that's just federal laws. So, yeah, I forget some of "the laws" sometime.
