Politicians want to harm each other directly instead of harming millions indirectly? Fuck it, let em.

More like they want to kill democrat or further left opponents we the people of the cities in Missouri (STL&KC) put up against them with impunity. They’ll just claim a duel was called and murder them

Some of them will overestimate themselves. It won’t be a Democrat-only bloodbath.

In this case, it's internecine conflict between the ordinary-grade-batshit Republicans that make up the majority of the Senate, and the weapons-grade-batshit Freedom Caucus weirdos who've been behaving with the sort of decorum and respect for good governance that we've all come to know and love from their fellow travelers in the national party, and I for one say we should let them fight.

More like, "I want to harm them, but not the other way around" kind of thing.

Hey, if they’re hurting and killing each other instead of us, that’s a win.

It won't be an "instead" though. Duelling will be used to get rid of those rare politicians that actually want to help people or improve the system.

I can't wait to see some senatorial rapier duels.

Actually, scratch that, I want to see some senatorial molitov cocktail duels!

Jason Mendoza said it best "just throw a molitov cocktail and then bang, right away, you have a different problem!"
