        Which is why if anyone thinks we can do anything electorally through the Democrats they're fucking delusional.

        I'm not one of those "electoralism is bullshit" people, I think it has value alongside other actions, but it's going to require a third party because the Dems are useless, prevent change, and aren't going anywhere.

          Electoralism is only viable with an actual workers party. Playing bourgeois politics is just that. Playing

            But it can act as a tourniquet to a gaping wound in a situation where a viable socialist platform is not going to be enacted tomorrow.

            However not under the Dems. Under their leadership it's useless.
