I think it's worth interrogating the underlying assumptions here a little bit. The context for these votes is that Rep. Green (a dumbass loose cannon) forced a vote on impeachment without coordinating with anybody.

If I'm understanding you correctly, your claim is that wanting Jeffries to vote in favor of impeachment is "making demands that set him up to fail". For that to be true, impeachment would have to be *absurdly* politically toxic.

I don't even mean it that specifically, really. Just that there's no reason to take an oppositional stance at all when they're currently winning. What's the UPSIDE, is the question. If you think it's stupid that Jeffries didn't vote for it your take should be "no it isn't what do you mean?"

Not merely an opportunity cost where he'd get more value by doing something else, not merely unlikely to succeed, but so deeply toxic that Jeffries was forced to vote against it to avoid substantial political damage.

I don't think the evidence supports this, to put it mildly
