(18,486 posts)Should they still follow the majority even if they don't think it's right? Because "the right thing to do" is not always a clear cut thing. Decent people can differ about what the right thing is. That's how the world works.
Plenty of people who are just as committed and intelligent as you are truly believe that impeachment now is the wrong course of action. You think they should vote for it anyway, even if they think it's wrong? Not because they think it's right, but because a majority of Democrats want to do that?
And your concern about "doing what's right for the party" is interesting. First, people have been attacking Nancy Pelosi relentlessly, for, in their opinion, doing what SHE thinks is right for the party and not, according to them, what is best for the country.
Second trying to save a Democratic House majority by protecting the Members who could lose their seats and, thus, cause the Democrats to lose the majority, arguably IS looking after the party.
