What about the cost of the signal sent to the Democrats that their current positions are enough to earn your votes?

I would respond: if not voting for the Democrats (and voting for a party to their left) saves one life from climate change, imperialism, COVID, or ICE because it pressures them to take stronger positions on those issues, it's also worth doing.

The Democrats make it pretty clear that they do not care about our votes, or about beating Republicans. We have to organize outside of the Democratic party infrastructure, while reluctantly voting for the lesser of two evils.

Wasn't your whole point that the Democrats would block or at least slow down the Rep? You do realize that this sentence voids the argument right?
