Despite the dramatic announcement, Green's effort lacks support from Democratic leadership. A senior House Democrat told Axios that Green's impeachment articles would go nowhere.

Democratic Representative Pete Aguilar echoed this sentiment, saying, "This isn't a focus of the Democratic Caucus."

So what exactly is a focus of the Democratic Caucus?

As near as I can tell, their focus is entirely on registering just barely enough tepid opposition to the plutocrats' agenda to avoid looking too much like blatant collaborationists and.... that's about it.

Green's grandstanding doesn't impress me much. The guy's a rapist, and it takes almost nothing right now to look impressive compared to the rest of the democrats. There's almost no chance of this getting off the ground right now, and zero chance of it going anywhere. The dems' strategy of outreach while Trump burns everything to the ground will help them at the midterms in theory, but they don't actually need to do the outreach for them to do better in the midterms and they're probably alienating more people than they are poaching voters with their fecklessness.

Green choosing to become a creature of the press right now just tells me he's looking at advancing himself, maybe in the midterms for Cornyn's senate seat. Maybe a presidential run.

All that said, there's a reasonable chance that dems will pick up 2 seats in the house in april and another one later this year. If so, they could impeach, but Trump will weather that just fine.

As much as i would love for orange jesus to be tried and relieved of duty, pushing this when you don't have the votes just diminishes the interest/confidence.
