Both the DNC and GOP get judged. The major reason why the DNC gets more attention is because there is a significant portion of the population still under the belief that the DNC is a meaningfully better party, when both are in service of capital and both are imperialist, genocidal orgs. Therefore, the working classes need to organize in parties like PSL and directly replace the dying system of late-stage imperialism.

Maybe, maybe not. The DNC has been funding ICE about the same as the GOP, and Harris was running on an anti-immigrant campaign to the right of Biden. Moreover, however, the global south would still be imperialized, Palestine would still be the target of genocide, and austerity would continue to be enforced domestically. Late-stage imperialism is the driver.

I'm incredibly skeptical of any strategy that depends on trying to "convince" capitalist organizations to help the people. This is entirely contrary to how the working class has historically taken power, the organization must itself be a worker organization. Lady Izdihar made an excellent model of the Leninist theory of revolutionary organization:

Worker organizing has consistently been the most effective and widespread form of gaining working class control. We cannot simply appeal to congress, even if we could flip one against the system they represent, they would be drummed out of the party and relentlessly harassed. The capitalist system protects itself from within, and must be overthrown by the working class.
