Beating them in an election isn't enough, any more than a gold star from the teacher is enough to stop the class bully. They must be made to hide in the shadows and fear the consequences of their actions. Winning won't be sufficient, they must be punished, so that others will be dissuaded from following their footsteps. I say this not from cruelty or vengence, but from strategy and psychology.
@ambulocetus Beating them in an election will lead them to hide in the shadows. All they want is power, so if we take that away from them, they’ll go away.
@ambulocetus BUT…we have to start somewhere.
