Now I hate graham. Don't get me wrong. And I'm gonna give Red leadership waaaay too much credit.
But consider this side.
Impeachment 1 delayed the response to c-19, possibly making it worse.
Impeachment 2 is run by an entirely Democratic government, House, Senate, courts, etc. The Entire government is Reliably blue.
Giving an inch in this case makes Democrats find the rest of the rope to hang themselves amongst their own supporters. You and I know Graham and Mitch are RINO shitstains, but by giving the Democrats the hope this hail mary play they will go for it because they no absolutely no self control.
Plebs are waiting for their free grain dole from the government. Either the Democrats can whine. They WANT to use Impeachment to show Republicans are blocking things like how Mitch is known to do. "See, you could have impeachment, if they'd just agree" But some are agreeing. But what people really want is the Old Normal. Family. Going out. Living. Those free $2k checks they think won't kill the economy. They want that stuff. So the longer this goes on, if they DARE to even check in they just see Trump's lawyers dominating the place. Only the Regressive extremists want Impeachment.
This is, of course Republicans assuming they can masterfully turn this around into a Mid-Term sweep. They know cheating happened. But they also know that despite cheating Republicans had MASSIVE gains in all demos except Bernie-Bro white males.
tl;dr Playing along for optics, democrats undermine their midterm chances because they won't actually do real work and just want to focus on Trump.
