I'd love to force a floor vote on Medicare for All & get some Dems on record voting against it. In reality, it would've inevitably failed, but clearing the names of some Dems who wouldn't actually vote for it in the process by allowing them to vote for a bill they know will fail. Vote = unforced, but now some people prematurely think AOC and the Squad are big phonies. Demsoc/Socdems will never deliver, but if people stop believing in them without stopping their belief in bourgeious democracy, people are just gonna run to the next politican that seems hip and honest. We want people running towards non-revisionist Marxism, not Andrew Yang I'll feign belief/enthusiasm so their failures bring people closer to seeing tearing it all down as the only solution.
If your plan doesn't involve making capitalists choose between two degrees of uncomfortableness, you will fail. Pressuring [good politician] to pressure [bad politician] to do [good thing] is always worthless.
Exactly.
