  • As difficult of a pill as this is to swallow, an impeachment vote wouldn’t solve the problem. It would put people on record, sure, but anyone who’s paying attention already has there mind made up about hegseth, and those supporting his position. To actually remove him, it would take 2/3rds of the Senate to convict him, which is definitely not in the cards until January, and even then it’s a pipe dream.

    The real change that is needed is the rebuke of citizens united, and the removal of private money from politics. Publicly funded elections and severe reprimands for anyone taking money under the table are the only ways I can see to make sure our representatives actually have a drive to represent us. The billions of dollars of private money is why, time and time again, politicians vote explicitly against the desires of the majority of their constituents.

    That or guillotines.
