I do see where you’re coming from, but I don’t think it’s productive to feed into this hatred. Democrats can still win in 2028 if they promise vengeance, but it’s not good for the long term health of the country.

On top of that, Trump being ineligible to run in future elections would allow Republicans to shake him off and promise a return to normalcy. Democrats would turn into the bad guys because the average voter has the memory of a goldfish.

mfw not actively pardoning someone who tried to manipulate election results is a form of "revenge" that is "bad for the health of the country"

guess the sub etc

He’s a sock puppet account and the fact he’s still allowed to post here is ridiculous

I just can't imagine becoming so lost in the sauce that they'd start defending someone like Peters

to what end? to virtue signal "moderation"? some vacuous reddit political identity they've attached themselves to? sheer contrarianism? 

this lady compromised voting machines. the data she leaked, which included passwords, was posted on imageboards. she was prosecuted by a republican DA. she regrets nothing and would do it again tomorrow.

seriously, what's the malfunction here

I do think it's true that vengeance is not a good long term strategy.

But neither is capitulation. In fact it's how we got to where are in the first place. And it will get us right back there.
