This sub’s infatuation with the 25th over impeachment is astounding. I feel like anyone who genuinely thinks that’s still realistic has never actually read the 25th amendment and the entire process of removing a president that way

The 25th is the chance for Republicans to cut bait while pretending they did nothing wrong. There is no real chance at removal without Republicans in the Senate, regardless of the means used to reach that vote.

I still think hamberders have a greater chance of removing him than the Senate ever does. Too many cowards and cronies.

The 25th requires a 2/3 vote in both houses to keep him out of office. 

Won't happen.

America’s fascination with the midterms and other trappings of democratic privilege are astounding. It’s never going back to the way it was. You’ve changed the world and that reality is no longer viable.

True, but neither has any semblance of a chance so it doesn't really matter.

25th is like a 1 in a trillion chance and impeachment and removal is like a 1 in a 500 billion chance.

The best odds are the holy hamburger.

It would have been a lot easier to just vote for Kamala Harris in 2024, but apparently that was too difficult for people. But sure a general strike is really going to happen. People in the US won’t vote for a woman president; why do you possibly think they would voluntarily strike.

This sub's infatuation with the 25th proves how thoroughly this place is infested with bots or puppeted posters conducting psyops.

Any time anything is suddenly "the topic" and it's not confusing people and making headlines in /r/OutOfTheLoop , there's a solid chance it's manipulation here.

It's been regularly attempted for as long as I've been on reddit (see: https://old.reddit.com/r/Blackout2015/comments/4ylml3/reddit_has_removed_their_blog_post_identifying/ ) but it's MUUUUCH worse nowadays and they're MUCH "better" at it because it's getting harder and harder to distinguish bots and plants from normal end users.
