"The US House of Representatives has passed a resolution to formally proceed with the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump.

The measure details how the inquiry will move into a more public phase. It was not a vote on whether the president should be removed from office.

This was the first test of support in the Democratic-controlled House for the impeachment process.

The White House condemned the vote, which passed along party lines.

Only two Democrats - representing districts that Mr Trump won handily in 2016 - voted against the resolution, along with all Republicans, for a total count of 232 in favour and 196 against."

    Don't ask for a "third" party [independent], just vote for it. It's very easy for each individual to do so, if they don't let the grade school peer pressure fuck up their judgement.

    As far as the war, it's costly for some, very profitable for others. Like everything else, cui bono. You will find it's not political. The dems only put up a facade of resistance, and not even that against the Afghanistan war.

    It is these things and mass media propaganda that make people feel there is no choice. But the choice has always been there. They can vote for the same old shit, or against it. That is their choice, regardless of the chance of winning.
