Don't get prickly over criticism that Democrats are getting now, it's the result of a lot of legitimate frustration.

4. Ah, yes, like that's "selling" something.

We did impeach, and we did conduct an investigation. We turned it over to a moribund Justice department and attorney general and whined when it got delayed. There is presidential power there that could have expidited a trial.

Beyond that, knowing the kind of threat this was, we could have broken the filibuster, and then, with a house and senate majority in place and a Democratic president, packed the Supreme Court. At that point, you gain the ability to either prevent or overturn their ridiculous immunity ruling, to push the trial into a court and expitite it or try it in the SCOTUS at that point. If we look at what is now happening with Trump, would it not have been worth doing that much? It was brought up, and Biden nixed it.

And here we are, complaining about critics.
