Yep, it was never about just accepting what Democrats tepidly offered. Primary them every election, drive out the establishment. But keep the open fascists in the Republican party out of power at the same time. Democrats aren't good. Republicans are far worse.

    100% this, absolutely.

    I, by no means, love the DNC. Fuck most of them. But the number of tankies and leftys that have lost the plot screaming "harm reduction doesn't work!!!" makes my fucking blood boil. If your decision in the face of fascism is to help bring it about by virtue signalling instead of accomplishing anything, you've sided with the fascist, full stop. No amount of self delusion will change the actual factual outcome. Your Kantian self-righteousness isn't going to provide any comfort to the family that's being thrown in cages.
