    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.

      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.

      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”.
