Set aside the Ukraine phone call. Articles of impeachment will inevitably include aspects of the Mueller saga, and therefore Dems will be impeaching (at least in part) on the basis of a ridiculous militaristic conspiracy theory. Nothing "progressive" or even logical about that
The phone call was just the "spark" that Dem leadership needed to justify going the distance. Impeachment was set in motion by Mueller, and will encompass the entire Mueller ordeal. Nadler is not going to suddenly discard all his prior work and focus exclusively on one phone call
The whole reason the Ukraine phone call spurred this latest flareup is because it has vague narrative continuity with the Mueller Report (many Democrats have been explicit about that in their rationale for why they now support impeachment)
So I reject on principle that objecting to this series of events means that you want Trump re-elected (I don't) or that it's the only pure "progressive" position (whatever that means)
