    Yeah at a certain point it just stops coming across as critical support and more just support. I dont see the point of celebrating an election with a foregone conclusion, dudes been in power forever.

      Because doing such things creates opportunities to have conversations like this one that act as education for new people who might be reading about why they should have critical support as principled anti-imperialists. If imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism then anti-imperialism is the highest stage of class struggle.
