I won't take a second to vote for him in part because it makes me stomach churn but also because without the threat of losing voters democrats literally have no incentive to impliment leftist policies. As a communist i'd expect you to be aware of that? I'm not a reformist and I don't believe that socialism can be voted into existence but I definitely see how voting blue no matter who is incredibly short sighted.

Why should our "left" political party do anything that benefits the proletariat if they will still be voted into office if they don't. Ultimately the democratic party is a bourgeoisie organization that serves its own interests which directly conflict with the interests of the prole. They will not offer us the slightest concession if they do not stand to lose something by not doing so.

Because the other option is more people suffer and I am not an accelerationist willing to hold my comrades lives hostage to prove a point to liberals. There are other means and methods. We can't vote socialism in but that doesn't mean we ignore it. It serves another purpose if not the one you want it to.
