    because a lot of people understand implicitly that bourgeois electoralism doesn't actually do shit, or at the very least that its never going to help them (the working class) in any major way. its two neoliberal parties and people know that whether they could articulate it or not. so when faced with a choice between neoliberalism or neoliberalism that will piss off people that annoy you, why not get some satisfaction out of it?
