Why table impeachment?

I'm looking for answers as to why 128 democrats voted with republicans to table the articles of impeachment. I've googled some dems but I cannot find any answers. I found Raskin posted this on his website.

Impeachment in our constitutional system requires sustained public organizing and education, comprehensive and exacting scrutiny of the relevant facts and law, and overwhelming political unity and strategic focus by the forces of democracy and the rule of law in Congress.

“Together with my fellow Democrats, I am determined to defend every day the Constitution and Bill of Rights—and all the programmatic achievements of democracy like Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security—until we end Trump’s reign of lawlessness and injustice. I will not pretend this can happen overnight with Trump and his MAGA allies in charge of the White House, the Senate and the House, but I will continue to work with all of my colleagues across the land, at the federal, state and local levels, to use any and every constitutional means at our disposal to restore constitutional government and defend democratic freedom in America. We are all in this together—the fight of our lives—and we will work together for safe passage through this onslaught against the Constitution and the rule of law.”


Any ideas or info on what this strategy is?

** Thanks! everyone for your responses! It has helped. I just keep thinking that it would have made at least a statement to vote Yes. This way it just looks like either it's not worth it or we are defeated.
Thanks again!

The Biden-Harris Administration Record

FACT SHEET: The Biden-Harris Administration Record
January 15, 2025
HISTORIC RECOVERY

When President Biden took office, the country was in the midst of the worst pandemic in more than a century and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Nearly [a] million workers had lost their jobs. COVID-19 was wreaking havoc on our country—closing businesses, keeping kids out of school, and killing thousands of Americans every day. Starting on his first day in office, President Biden took decisive action to beat the pandemic.

I want to go through this list and identify which of Biden's accomplishments have been eliminated or changed by Krasnov. And how many Krasnov (aka Yam Tits) has taken credit for.

Thank you President Biden for everything you did.
And fuck cancer.
