I probably have more to add late but yeah this checks out
I guess a theoretical leftist org could take a stance of "democrats are genocidal maniacs, but vote for them for strategic reasons" but like... Good luck spreading that sentiment lmao
Yeah and you'd need to get your whole org canvassing to make any real difference. And at that point the obvious questions come up like, "why isn't your org making demands?" and "why isn't your org running candidates?"
It's basically just recapitulating the incompetent electoralist strategies of the DSA (internalized liberal propaganda) and ignoring the successful ones (actually building power and trying to use influence).
