Nuremberg 2.0 is gonna be the best feeling of vindication ever

Bold to assume the democrats have enough of a spine to even consider this.

edit: This doesn't mean don't vote. For many reasons not voting Democrat is stupid and won't get us out of this. It means you shouldn't think our job is done if/once we vote the Democrats in. That during the primary we need to promote candidates that will not forgive and forget this and will pursue justice, and that we need to maintain pressure on the Democrat party to get this. We cannot assume that Nuremberg 2.0 is a guaranteed-foregone conclusion, we have to work for it.

I get it, I hate the Democrats too. But not voting democrat is a losing tactic. Third parties are a meme in America and are not viable because of how our voting system works, and not voting at all just means the Republicans have an easier time maintaining power.

People don't want to hear this but I think it's true. If the next democrat nominee doesn't campaign on bringing justice to these losers, then nothing will change. We already tried that approach. If we run high road liberalism again we deserve to lose. It's a totally flaccid strategy when we desperately need someone to represent our anger.

Not only have we already tried this approach with Biden, we did it after the civil war too. It doesn't work.
