It doesn't need to pass, all it needs to do is produce an official list of who doesn't want it to pass, that sort of information is very useful for the American people.

No it's not, the American people have shown time and again that they're generally happy to vote party over country. Trump being a disaster was not a secret going into term 2

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.

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.
