electoralism and a few social democrats in office aren’t going to get you the ‘formal levers of government’ in time
Well, we don't know that, and we don't know if a non-electoral strategy (if it's viable at all) will work in time, either. No one knows how to build socialism in the imperial core, so we shouldn't write anything off completely. We especially shouldn't write off what the vast majority of Americans think of when they think of politics.
We should be working every angle that might feasibly provide a solution. One might pop up where we're not expecting it, and modest gains in one area might help another area considerably.
