He’s not being convicted, it would just be performative.

What the Democrats should do is pass a shitload of progressive legislation with real teeth and let the pukes filibuster it or have Piss veto it if it somehow miraculously got through the senate. And then run on those things in ‘28.

They won’t but they should.
