The DNC doesn't have an absolute stranglehold on politics, especially at the local level. Some good people, like Bernie Sanders, run on a Democratic ticket. Having Sanders or AOC lose their seats because you're unhappy with the DNC monopolizing "the left half" of the political spectrum is definitely counterproductive.

I do personally advocate for harm reduction voting, as it can make the work we need to do much easier, and reduce suffering.
