Yeah but it won’t. It will obviously make things better. But not perfect. And it damages peoples ability to believe in our democracy. It ignores the crimes that directly impact humans like the family separations at the border that he’s continuing to do right now. This is doing harm to NATO and NATO keeps the world from having big wars.

Yeah but that’s made worse by Pelosi behaving in a way that telegraphs she doesn’t really think trumps badness is that big a deal. And democratic turn out would be massively enhanced by months of televised hearings laying out all his crimes. The Russian plot in 2016 was too depress Democratic voter turn out. And it was effective. The Senate failing to convict Trump would just bring people out in droves. The idea there’s a downside from a failed impeachment is a will-o’-the-wisp, a ridiculous fantasy. That’s got ahold of all these otherwise sensible people.
