Do you consider Democrats who didn't/don't think that impeachment will turn out well for Democrats in 2020 to be "the opposition?"
Do you therefore consider Speaker Pelosi "the opposition?" Perhaps you don't remember the failures of the Tea Party because they considered any bipartisanship to be "surrender." The job of our elected leaders is to move forward with legislation and get things done, rather than behave like Boehner and McConnell. Without bi-partisan support in the public, impeachment is an exercise in self-congratulation, and self-immolation. Personally, I'd like to see us win in 2020, because no matter how self-satisfied we are, we can't get a damn thing actually done if we don't.
I think this post in this thread would be helpful for you to read.
