What is your point? What other alternative does the left have? The US is a two party state, and that is how democracy works there. I’ve yet to see anyone present me with an answer to that question.
Build dual power institutions and provide the services of a functioning state within the dying husk of the current regime until such time that it collapses under its own contradictions when you leverage the organization and capacity you’ve built up to seize state power.
I am all for building dual power, but doing that doesn’t prevent you from voting for the slightly less bad party. In fact, it will take a long time till any institution we build will have enough power to have a meaningful impact in people’s lives, so reducing the suffering in the meantime is extremely important. And don’t even begin talking about third parties or something like that. You know as well as I do that they are never going to win. Strategic voting is the best thing we have in the brutal US electoral system.

And if you don’t the fascists will.
