Steyer: The case for impeachment

On Meet the Press. He's right, of course. Doing what's right will only bring out the base in the next election. Not doing it will only reinforce that the Dem Party is complicit in the crimes and suppress votes. Steyer is asked why Dem leadership doesn't act accordingly.

It occurs to me that perhaps Pelosey and The Squat's motivation is that by not showing spine, by letting these crimes go, it will further disillusion the progressive base in their Party from once again going to the polls. This of course would insure that the establishment Dems are not challenged and defeated in primaries and hence the Demosaurs would retain their power, even when (not if) they lose in '20. I know, that's a sick reason and a horrific speculation, but it seems the most likely one given their refusal to uphold their Constitutional duty.

But we the people will not abide it. We progressives will fight and defeat the neoliberals in our own Party and then go on to defeat the neoliberals and fascists in the Repug Party. We and our candidates have momentum and the courage of our convictions, the spine to do what's right, no matter the opposition.
