politics 101
The reasons Pelosi is not planning a vote are both practical and political: Taking the step of passing a formal impeachment inquiry resolution is a complicated and time-consuming endeavor that has political downsides, from drafting the exact language of the resolution, to holding a complicated floor debate and to putting some members in a tough spot.
Moreover, having a vote on an impeachment inquiry resolution would give Republicans an opening to argue they should have subpoena power like in past impeachment proceedings, something that Democrats would almost certainly never allow.
TOO DEEP FOR TRUMPDRONES ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THE END
IOW. . . . it would involve respecting the wishes of democratically elected representatives from across this nation.
It is far easier to impose a tyrannical regime to get your way!

That is pretty much what folks are saying! It is nice to have you admit it, and that at least, folks on both sides can agree on something!
