Typical all or nothing response. Letโs forget the 535 members of Congress have primaries every 2-4 years so we can complain that โit was either Fetterman or Dr. Ozโ when Fetterman beat three primary contenders, two of whom were progressive, in a primary that saw <9% turnout.
If you think abstaining is the solution, why has it only made things worse for the last 40 years?
Nobody says abstaining is the solution. Electoralism in general is not a solution. Organizing, joining working class parties with revolutionary intent, is the only solution.
