I recently had a long, drawn out "debate" with another Democrat about how impeachment isn't going to work.

In short, we tried impeachment a few times before and it only made Trump's support rise. We don't want that. Not to mention that impeachment dies in the Senate.

This has to get litigated in the public sphere. That's not something I say lightly considering most of the media is owned and operated by right wing sycophants.
