That “jury” of voters is a critical backup plan, but is no substitute for the important process of impeachment that is currently in progress.
And while I understand the sentiment of not wanting to overturn an “election” (which Republicans actually stole with Russian interference, Comey tipping the scale for Trump and massive voter suppression), the fact is that the crime that Trump is being impeached for is that he is TRYING TO ILLEGALLY RIG THE 2020 ELECTION by soliciting and offering bribes for ILLEGAL election aid from a foreign government.
Because it is the coming election that he is trying to sabotage, Trump MUST be removed from his position of being able to achieve his criminal electoral schemes.
We can’t wait for the 2020 election because THAT is the very thing Trump is trying to manipulate.
In any case, Democrats also note that, regarding overturning an election, vice-president Pence was simultaneously “elected” along with Trump, to an office the sole substantive duty of which is to take over — as the backup who was specifically also ELECTED alternative — if Trump cannot complete his term; Democrats further note that we can’t wait to replace Trump in the 2020 election when the high crime he is being charged with involves cheating to steal the 2020 election.
