Also, this isn’t sports. As much as they want you to think it is.
We don’t want turncoats. Even if they mean it, there’s no guarantee they will also “mean it” when they switch again. They will learn to use the party switch as a safety net to get buyouts and accept donations from whoever and whatever and stand up for any atrocity, then when consequences approach “OH NOES I WAS TRICKED”
I don’t accept this framing. Would you let Fetterman back in if he swore up and down on a stack of sweatshorts that he was now “so sorry” that he represented genocide and voted against every progressive measure and became a darling for the right? The whole idea here is that one direction is evil. It is very bad. Not saying dems are even much better, but there are positions that you don’t come “back” from, it’s the openly evil party, they will take anyone to further their goals. Those people don’t represent me, and people who can’t figure it from the start also don’t represent me. Fuck them, they had every chance.
But then, I guess people take cheaters back every day too.
What does that even mean in this context? How does that address either your obtuse and childish point that I “like being outraged” or that I have suffered material harm? Are you just typing things? are you a bot?

You just like being outraged.
I have been directly harmed by her party and the people she works for. I do not fucking enjoy it at all.
You and most other people on Lemmy… join the club.
