1. They don't have a majority. They would need 17 Republicans to stand with them at this time. That's just this side of impossible, so it would just look like talking with no real strength to back it up. Why bring up something you cannot possibly do? They may be waiting to see if they get majority after the midterms, so they will be taken more seriously.
2. They may decide not to impeach Trump at any point for their own political reasons/goals. I am not saying I support this, but it might be the case all the same. Pence is demonstrably more stable and quite a bit smarter. They may prefer a man they feel they can manipulate emotionally (Trump), and feel Pence is actually more dangerous in the long run.
In any case, the response of democrats is hardly reflective of the seriousness of what is facing Trump. That's a terrible deflection that does not address the issues at all.
The US doesn't have a president that's a criminal. They have a criminal who is president.
The world watches and doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The only difference between Nixon and 45, is that Nixon admitted his crimes on tape. 45 thinks by doing this in public it is different. He's making a huge mistake underestimating the intel community he keeps attacking.
