i like that the op ignore the mass protests in bolivia, the class between the MAS supporters and the military, the arming of the protesters, that MAS is an actual labour party that actually cares about is people, and most importantly MAS organized the protests instead of denouncing them, link
to me the main problem of voting in the USA is believing the "harm reduction" lie, all it does is either de-radicalize you or makes you lose hope in the socialist movement
But harm reduction is sometimes real. If Lyft and Uber can't fuck over drivers to the extent they currently do, that undeniably helps people right now. There is nothing more harmful to a socialist movement than not supporting immediate, material improvements in working conditions. Why would a worker join your movement if you can't even do that?
The way to keep small gains from de-radicalizing the movement is education. We have to provide the broader ideological framework, we have to show the big picture, we have to make the case that as long as capitalism exists all worker gains will constantly be under attack.
