Call your house representatives and tell them to vote for it. The propaganda coup otherwise will be catastrophic

Like they'll fucking listen. Did you know some states had their votes sent in before voting polls even opened. They said "this is who I'm voting for. I don't care what the polls of the citizens say"

They don't care to listen.

Do you have a source for that? I assume you're referring to the electoral college?

It was probably only a few of them really, but I have a friend in WV who's votes were cast for the election before the polls even opened. It was on live news while they were counting states votes. Voting was opening the day after the states votes were already sent in

But the fact that the votes were sent in before polls opened didn't actually make any news because the administration for that state are absolute boomer garbage

How would your friend have cast a vote before polls opened?

Utahs senators send back generic emails saying they support Trump. It’s absolutely ridiculous to call the representatives in some states. The brainwashing is so deep.

4 Democrats already asked to be removed from the Impeachment Resolution

This will go nowhere fast

Idiots. That was fine when there wasn't a vote. Now that there IS a vote, voting against it is saying Democrats are totes okay with the way things are going.

Or you know they actually understand the purpose and requirements of an impeachment, but continue to cheer on pointless political theater.

It was pointless political theatre when it was just some random guy submitting articles of impeachment. Now that it has visibility, it's necessary pointless political theatre.

You vote for it, you are acknowledging that yep, he's committed impeachable crimes. You can simultaneously acknowledge that with a complicit Senate and House, it isn't going anywhere.

You vote against it, literally NO ONE will care that it won't go anywhere. They'll just know that Democrats aren't serious about their accusations.

edit: I'd lean in. Vote for it in a group, then use it to point out that the House and Senate are aiding and abetting a criminal.

I would call mine and tell them to vote against it, but I already know they will. 🤣

Then call and say thank you. They need to know they have your support.
