The dems picked the absolute weakest thing to impeach him on. Children dying in cages at the hands of the federal government? Not nearly as important to Nancy Pelosi as Hunter Biden getting picked on.
It's not really impeachable to go after someone for just executing on existing federal policy. Don't forget the Democrats were complicit in that one too.
They should've impeached over something financial corruption related.
I haven't seen the impeachment mentioned at all since the primary. I still can't believe the Dems wasted the one power they had and all their political captial on defending crackhead Hunter Biden.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter. The only analysis I've read that makes sense is that Republicans and Dems represent loose coalitions of capitalists. Democrats and "moderate republicans" represent the global finance wing of capital, promoting "free trade" agreements. Republicans represent regional capitalists, like logging an coal, which have generally been hurt by globalization of capital.
So when Trump when after Hunter Biden, it was a genuine attack against his enemies. I think the Democrats swung back so hard on that because they don't see nepotism between government and business as a problem. Trump going after Biden represented an attack on their whole way of life, crossing a line that rich people aren't supposed to. So I think on some levels, it was a genuine move by Democrats that they calculated wouldn't be too offensive to potential voters.

I just meant literally anything would have been better than ukraine shit.
They could have impeached him on 200,000 dead americans and most people wouldn't even side with him.
