It seems just like yesterday when the Democrats were divided over whether or not to impeach Donald Trump in the aftermath of the release of the Mueller report.

Oh wait, that kind of was yesterday.

Here we go again with another scandal coming from the White House, where President Trump allegedly consulted the Ukrainian president for dirt on Joe Biden, one of his possible opponents in the 2020 election. The incident has sparked a variety of baseless claims (that Biden's son Hunter worked for a Ukrainian oil company) to the most absurd tweets yet (a Nickelback meme a la "Photograph" showing Biden with Ukrainian businessmen; the meme has since been censored due to copyright).

By now, we're probably used to the rampant gaslighting Trump uses in order for him to get away from the sleazy things he has done. But we have to look through the horrible memes and horrible fingerpointing and understand that we're dealing with a President of the United States who is clearly using the Constitution like it's toilet paper.

Joe Biden is not among my top 3 presidential candidates in 2020, but that should not disregard any notion that we must call for an impeachment on President Trump. As progressives, we understand that while these scandals do nothing to help everyday Americans suffering from high costs of healthcare or lacking a livable wage, we should also understand that as progressives we hold those in power accountable. The president is not acting in the interests of the people whom he has vowed to serve but instead catering to a foreign entity so he can earn something for his own personal gain.

There is also the notion that even if we do impeach him, then the GOP-led Senate will not try or convict him. In my view, looking at these what-if's is irrelevant and only makes us more anxious. Impeachment is a political process and with that process comes political ripple effects. When impeachment is done right, it has the ability to shape the precedent for how politics in this country should be conducted.

And that is where I think that this whole impeachment debacle is like a very tense game of Jenga, where the smallest move of a block can make the tower come tumbling down. In that game, it's Nancy Pelosi's turn, and she needs to make all the right moves so she can unite the Democrats on the impeachment inquiry.

I might have my disagreements with the Speaker on a number of issues, but we need to reconcile our differences--for once--and understand that our lowest common denominator is in our best interests: to impeach one of the grossest presidents to ever step foot in the Oval Office.
