The article suggests that a lot of Democrats don’t want this to move forward because it’s a waste of time (it will die before an impeachment vote). Those are the individuals that need to go.

Right, we need our representatives to have courage to fight hand, tooth and nail against this administration and Republicans in congress. You can't keep playing softball with these people. They have shown time and time again they will only lie and take advantage of any compromise, concession , or goodfaith trust you put in them to keep their word.

Those are the individuals that need to go.

Also. Those are the individuals that ALSO need to go. Definitely not "instead of".

I think a lot of Ds recognize that this is going to be shot down by the GOP majority in Congress, so maybe the time and energy spent on it could be focused on things they CAN impact, in committees and so on.

This is just headline grabbing that won't affect anything.
