If Kamala wins, THEN you apply pressure.

How? This is not the kind of thing anyone that cares about pressure or leverage says. Electorally you have the most leverage, as an individual, before the election, not after it.

Do you ever question what you are told to do by the party?

You don't help the guy who praises Hitler,

Kamala Harris is supporting a genocide.

and promises to punish his enemies "from within" the day he takes office.

You mean with cops and feds? Maybe violence against and suppression of protesters? Maybe labelling Palestinian solidarity organizations as terrorists? Maybe signing an EO to allow "the military to use " lethal force" on citizens in the US.

Your "good cop" is already doing that. You just approve.

This also isn't the only issue by a landslide

What's the issue? Can you describe it?

considering Trump wants to dismantle NATO

That would be an unmitigated good for humanity. Sometimes Dem voters make great arguments for Trump. Good thing we have principles.

defund the support sent to Ukraine

The people of Ukraine suffer due to a decade-long US pressure campaign to use them to harass and bait Russia. After Russia invaded, the people of Ukraine are now used as inputs to a meat grinder because the US' goal remains to hurt Russia, not help Ukraine. The US escalated in the first place and then scuttled peace talks.

The best thing for the people of Ukraine would be to end the war diplomatically ASAP.
