Why don't Americans impeach Trump? (lemmy.org)

I'm from Korea, and we impeached our president last year, mostly because he declared martial law, but he was also a terrible president, and no one really liked him being there, even his own party.

Why can't the U.S do the same, if Donald Trump is so bad? Why are some Americans even supporting him?

If we get majority in 2026, he will be impeached. That's why he's attacking all things voting. Districts, machines, and methods.

Let's be real - if they get a majority, the Dems will find a way to delay the impeachment until the end of his term, in the hopes of getting more votes in 2028. They already pulled the same shit twice.

I love how you launder "building an airtight case" into "find a way to delay".

While Law and Order gets to cut to the trial 9 months later, we have to wait for the investigation and evidence collection and 23 different warring writs and motions to fight it out, all in real-time.

If we get majority in 2026

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Democrats couldn't be bothered to even meet the left halfway when dems were actively supporting a genocide. Dems will never win again.

Here's another great one. You spell "Some Dems wanted more international meddling in the Middle East; and when the party didn't put forth a plan to be world police they voted for the Russian agent just to fuck themselves" very oddly.

And also free speech, free press, rights in general.... And I also can't shake the feeling that the government shutdown was a ploy to attempt to delay or cancel both upcoming elections.

They will definitely try. They can't win without some form of cheating.

[–] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 hours ago

Do they even have to cheat when Dems are so pathetic and self-sabotaging?
