If only they would.
It is frustrating that there is seemingly nothing you can do to punish a politician, outside of local level politicians.
Oh they will punish them when they are done being useful to the swamp or in many cases have a (D) next to their name.

Look it’s really easy to fall for this but here it goes:
Are some republicans corrupt? Yes. Are all corrupt? No. Should they be judged on a case by case basis? Yes. Has this happened yet? No.
I 100% agree and I have no problem naming names of the corrupt ones I know. Mitch McConnell (Compromised to the CCP), Mitt Romney (Warmonger and part of the money laundering crowd of Ukraine), and Liz Cheney (Warmonger) are three examples I can think of off the top of my head.
I can even think of some Democrats and former democrats that I actually have some respect for. Joe Manchin, Kysten Sinema (Despite voting for policies that did hurt the country they stood strong to protect the Filibuster as well as save Joe from himself by blocking several huge spending bills), and Tulsi Gabbard (She had no issue calling out her either party when they were wrong, not to mention she actually tried to work with the former president and in my opinion would have been a far better speaker of the house than Nancy Pelosi)
Thats why everybody is fed up with politicians for the longest time. Whenever somebody says “All (x group) are this or that!” They aren’t being jerks, they are just frustrated that they either can’t speak out against them, or they never seem to face consequences.
You mean like for example when (R) Donald Trump told his followers on 1/6/21 to "Peacefully and Patriotically" Make their voices heard at the capital (which last I checked was covered under the 1st amendment) and the capital riot happens he gets impeached but when (D) Maxine Waters crosses state lines to not only incite violence, but in the process intimidate the Jury during the Derek Chauvin Trial (Which last I checked not only not covered under the 1st amendment but is a crime that should have not only cost her the house seat she has had for over 30 years but landed her in jail) she is let off Scott free?
Or better yet how we have Democrats talking about how Trump needed to watch what he says due to the position of power he holds (which I can agree on even if I find his unpolished way of speaking refreshing) yet when they themselves do the same thing we have people going out of their way to defend them?
In the densely populated country of America, you can easily count the number of politicians that have seen iron bars on one hand. And they were typically local politicians.
The closest I can see above local being held to accord in modern day history was my former Governor Andrew Cuomo, but even with him they treated him with kids gloves. In 2020 he literally signed the order that sent Covid19 patients into nursing homes when he had not only the Comic Con center, but also the ship Trump gave him but because 4 other democrat governors did the same (Wolfe, Whitmer, Newsom, and Murphy) they swept this under the rug and instead went with a sexual harassment charge instead to protect the other 4 I mentioned.
