It's that lesser evil bullshit that has destroyed the left. It's so easy for the corporate establishment to game that strategy, all it has to do is keep menacing the left with deranged reactionary republicans and the left will keep strategically voting for the corporate establishment "moderates". It's a retarded farce that's just taking us deeper and deeper into a neoliberal corporatocracy with every election cycle.
We've been hearing for twenty years now how we need to keep voting for corrupt establishment dems while working to build a grassroots movement and one day we'll have the numbers and momentum to take over the party. It's twenty years on and we're still not even close to accomplishing that. If we had another twenty years that strategy might work, but we got looming crises like climate change, economic collapse, and a rapidly growing fascistic right that are happening now. We don't have another twenty years to keep dicking around with lesser evilism.
The only thing that's going to get us where we need to be in time is relentlessly exposing the corruption, hypocrisy, and duplicity of the dem establishment and forcing rank and file liberals to support real progressives by demonstrating to them that we will not support their shit politics or their corrupt establishment and that if they don't want reactionary wingnuts running the country they're gonna have to bend the knee to the progressive left.

Socialism without freedom is fascism.
