    imo this simplifies things; options:

    1. The democrats do not care about your vote. Cool, I will not vote for them then.
    2. The democrats do care about your vote, and will change their behavior in response to it being withheld; cool, I will not vote for them then.

      It really depends on whether you think accelerationism will build the extra-legislative power structure better, or delaying the inevitable will. There is no hope for electoralism, but there is an argument for whether it is worth delaying it while we build up our strengths.

        There is at least media support for the resistance aesthetic while the republicans are in power. With Biden libs cheered on crushing the rail strike among many other things they would have been out in the streets about with Trump. If you want to build extra-legislature power I think the answer is clear.
