Jacobin magazine downplays Democrats’ impeachment debacle On February 13, the US Senate voted to acquit former President Donald Trump for “incitement of insurrection” in connection with the attempted coup of January 6, marking a new milestone in the breakdown of American democracy. Jacobin magazine, affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), has had next to nothing to say about the impeachment debacle and even less to say about the coup attempt and the ongoing threat of right-wing violence. One article appeared on its site on the topic of impeachment on January 9, the day that impeachment proceedings began in the House of Representatives: “What Trump’s Impeachment Could Mean.” The article did not even mention the January 6 coup attempt.
