America is not, and never has been, anything close to a democracy. Elections, and the entire public face of government, is just a farcical veil, a distraction from what's actually going on.
History has shown again and again that engagement with bourgeois "democracy" leads communists to opportunism. Leftists should organize against the bourgeois state, not participate in it.
Even were that all false, and electoralism not at best a waste of time, then the actual move would be to refuse to vote for the ddemocrats until the moved left. If you tell them they have your support no matter what, then why would they do anything to appeal to you instead of appeal to "moderates" who might vote republican?
No.
