I wish there was another way. Truly.

There is one other option besides impeachment or war. Democracy. But to win that game, we’d have to drop our commitments to migrants and trans folks and stop calking the voters stupid. And that, my friends, we just can’t do. The one thing I will never say, no matter what, is that I was wrong about Trump ir that the voters were right to choose him. Hell no.

We doing have to drop our commitment to migrants, just illegal immigrants.

We didn't have to abandon the trans folks, just stop treating them like they are more important than anyone else because they have issues

And the voters didn't get to choose, there was barely a primary on either side.

I’m probably going to register independent soon. I’ve had enough.

Yes, it’s a big tent, and I’m angry at Dems for rolling over. I’ll register as an independent now that we can in DC and still vote in the Dem primary. But, let’s face it: the vast majority of us discontents are still going to vote for the Dem over the GOP candidate. Of course, if there are independents running that will factor in too.

November 2026 is way too late. If this isn't ended in the next month or two, we are done.

No, it's not. Not if people start rallying around it now. America loves recalls. The problem now is the opposition can't decide what to do. They need a simple idea/goal to unite around and this could be the single answer everyone starting now can say and repeat until it happens. It a very easy argument to make with every action he takes. It's common sense. It's legal. Make it the goal. Show him how he's going to leave office for a second time. Build a movement toward it. Keep it simple that everyone who's against him can agree and work toward. It would change the narrative and make him upset because America is going to fire him. If it builds any momentum, all these radical changes slow down/get reversed. His own party may join the movement at some point -- all the better.

Recalls?

That take months to more than a year to affect and are uniformly unsuccessful.

Congress could recall him now with 2 votes. 1 to impeach. 1 to convict. There needs to a political movement to make it happen with the current Congress OR by electing a new one.

67 votes in the Senate is a political impossibility. You might as well hope Trump has a change of heart and starts channeling Jimmy Carter

We need a campaign to normalize migrants and trans folks. Stupid racists fear people who are different. We need to teach them that people are the same

They need to stop their need for political purity and their resulting in-fighting. It's ridiculous to call for Schumer's resignation. It's the same as the GOP calling for judges to be impeached.

They need to refocus their message on the working class. The people barely surviving through a gig economy, with inflation and possibly stagflation coming their way. They need to look at whole systems to understand why there are housing shortages and not primarily focus on helping the most vulnerable. Don't stop helping them, but that can't be your main messaging. Your messaging has to be we are all in this together. Let's create opportunity for all, so that all can thrive.

You have to stop demonizing whole classes of people. Police, white men, Karens. Republicans themselves. It feels good. I get it. I feel it too. But you are alienating half the nation. We talk about being inclusive. Walk the walk. Include those you disagree with. Make genuine room for diversity of perspective too.

Didn't Ezra Klein argue Trump was going to back down rather than cause a constitutional crisis?

I think Klein is really good at writing click bait.

The Dems can't focus on the working class because they are beholden to their rich voters and haven't had support from the White working class for decades, now they are losing Latinos too.

THAT’S ILLEGAL.

He got a promotion and a cushy job in the basement of the LOC… far away from voting American citizens.
