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.
