They would say they ARE performing their Constitutional duties. Trump is president. They believe in his agenda. They are supporting that. It is their Constitutional prerogative to do, after all.

That's why it doesn't work as an issue. It's not clear cut to everyone. Affordability is.

Because impeachment is nothing but performance at the moment. There is no way Trump gets convicted on impeachment. Instead, bring bills to the floor aimed at helping Americans and beat Republicans over the head when they vote against them. That will do better at the ballot box.

I'm with you on the character limit...no nuance is possible.

The problem is that people don't vote for liberal democracy. They vote for issues that impact their pocketbook. Impeaching Trump does nothing for them. Dems need to show they care more about people than performance.

If you think impeachment is serious, I want you to concoct a realistic scenario where, based on current events, 20 Republican Senators vote to convict Trump on articles of impeachment passed by the Republican-led House.

No ability to convict is what makes it unserious.

Impeachment isn't serious anymore. Recent history is a solid demonstration of that. Dems need to win in 2026, call Cabinet Secretaries before their committees, and make them answer the hard questions. That's how to hobble an already lame duck.

For 2026. And the administration is too incompetent to consolidate power. As bad as things have gone over the past year, a competent authoritarian would have been much, much further along. As it is, the combination of Epstein and groypers is going to devour the MAGA base.

Maintaining a public conversation is not the same as drafting articles of impeachment. If that's your focus, people will stop listening. Whether Trump is impeached or not, food costs are rising, and medical insurance is rising. Address those, and you have a winning message.

I'd love to hear your plan for getting an impeachment conviction through a 50/50 Senate. At the moment (and for the foreseeable future), it's not happening.

Focus your message on issues that impact people's lives, affordability being the most obvious. That's the path to success.

I'll put it this way. People are getting frustrated with the hallucinations and engagement bait of AI. They will start to look for actual people behind the content, That's why creatives need to put themselves out there. To show they're real. That's our advantage

Even before AI, thousands of titles a day were added to Amazon. Mostly slop, IMHO. People willing to read warmed-over slop weren't likely customers of anything I produce to begin with.

I think the angle human authors should take is to engage with their readers. Current AI can't match that.
