All the while the overton window gradually shifts to the far right. We're at the point where the country is funding a literal genocide but libs still refuse to organize.
I'd say they'd only start if Red Man is doing it instead of Blue Man, but even that's a stretch.
@Awoo put it better
For the revleft participation in the system is endorsement of it.
You can't tell people to vote in one election and then tell people that actually it needs to be overthrown and think that's going to happen 5 years later.
At some point or another you just have to commit to it being broken and build your movement based entirely on the fact that it is broken and can not be supported in any way whatsoever.
You are not convincing anyone that there is a need for revolution by telling them that actually there is a reason to participate in the system that you want revolution against. Maybe that passes among very well educated theory-heads but it does not work when you exit theory spaces and start talking to the masses.
