    I am really hoping for Kamala to lose this one. Dems should be actively punished for committing genocide as well as all the other stuff. Just saying 'other stuff' because their poor handling of railways, labor rights, trans rights, and now what's going on with the hurricane just sort of fades into the background of a fucking holocaust.

      Do they actually care if they lose, is it really a punishment? Feels like they'll just continue Republican policies whenever they're next in power and keep willingly being dragged to the right.

        This time, I actually think they do. They actually seem to be trying this time, presumably because they're scared of Trump with presidential immunity, and it's quickly approaching "and then they came for me".

        Yeah it comes down to two case:

        1. Dems care whether they lose -> okay so they should lose so they don't think they can just enthusiastically prosecute a genocide and still win
        2. Dems don't care whether they lose -> cool I will treat them similarly and simply not vote for a party that does not care about winning

        It mostly punishes the libs putting Kamala signs all over their front lawns. The Dem politicians are only punished in the sense of losing more people to socialist ideas.

      As a bonus, you get to punish Trump by making him be president for 4 years and constantly worry about getting capped by his own fanatics. It's a lose/lose.
