So given that revolution is not currently possible, then maybe voting for the dem soc candidate is the right thing to do with what little power we have?
Its only “not possible” because those who dont want to face the terrifying reality of the situation continue to retreat to reformist tendencies that don’t work and got us here in the first place. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy that can become untrue the instant you guys decide to get real.
As long as you are also taking other actions to further the goal of revolution. I am not the type to take issue with electoralism if electoralism isn’t what you spend all of your energy on. I would also encourage you to keep your expectations (but not your demands) for these candidates low as to avoid falling into doomerism.
