"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Says the guy who supports Graham Platner. He is the thing standing in the way of the western left learning anything.
It's not about the candidate, it's the party. Lenin himself could come back from the dead and voting for him would still be a dead end if he ran as a Democrat.
For any serious leftist movement to happen the left needs its own independent party. Ideally a communist party but even a non-communist third party would be an improvement at this point. Better to vote for the PSL or even the Green party (US Greens, not German Greens) than to continue trying the same thing over and over and failing, thinking "this time surely we can take over the Democratic party from the inside, this time surely the party machinery won't swallow up all leftist momentum and turn it into establishment liberalism".
US leftists have to recognize that both the Democrat and Republican parties are intractable enemies of the working class. Same for UK's Labor party.
And this is structurally hard-coded into these parties.
