Being Jewish doesn’t absolve him of Nazi like behavior. Prior to this war every country and every media source were in agreement of the huge issue with Nazis in Ukraine, in conjunction with their corruption as a country.

If by opposition to them you mean Republicans, no. Republicans are not opposition to Democrats

They are not equally bad, the side that poses as an ally and a protector of is the marginalized while actively causing them harm is by far worse.

Do you think these things would be happening no matter who was in power?

Yes they would be, but in different ways. Democrats always set the stage for Republicans to commit crimes against the working class. Trump put kids in cages built by Democrats. Trump militarized ICE and deportations after Democrats increased their funding to their highest levels with the largest increase of detention center construction. Liberals were outraged when they found Trump was denying due process to those he deported while ignoring Obama did the same thing with upwards of 75% of those he deported denied using a law signed into law by Bill Clinton.

And the Democrat ratchet effect prevents anything started by Republicans from ever slipping back.

Push the party left in primaries and local elections

This is another failed strategy that’s never worked, after electing them they have no obligation to fulfill their promises, all they need to do is create another manufactured crisis before the elections that require everyone to come together and defeat their imaginary foe, ‘the most important election of our lifetime.’

Calling out Dems when they do bad holds no weight when they know you will come back afterwards and reward their bad behavior with reelection.

They did no such thing. They used a typical liberal approach by finding something that they think aligns with their ideology and claims ‘gotcha’

Lenin’s push for participation in elections was due to the Duma which kept getting dissolved by the Czar for becoming increasingly anti monarchy. Between 1906 and 1917 several had been dissolved due to growing constitutional monarchy among the peasants.

Without historical context it sounds like lenin advocated participating in all bourgeoisie elections.

Even where there is no prospect of achieving their election the workers must put up their own candidates to preserve their independence, to gauge their own strength and to bring their revolutionary position and party standpoint to public attention. They must not be led astray by the empty phrases of the democrats, who will maintain that the workers’ candidates will split the democratic party and offer the forces of reaction the chance of victory. All such talk means, in the final analysis, that the proletariat is to be swindled. The progress which the proletarian party will make by operating independently in this way is infinitely more important than the disadvantages resulting from the presence of a few reactionaries in the representative body. If the forces of democracy take decisive, terroristic action against the reaction from the very beginning, the reactionary influence in the election will already have been destroyed.

Karl Marx on liberal ‘lesser evil’

Lenin is talking about participating in voting for our own candidates and government, NOT for supporting the bourgeoisie.

Your party has lost two elections to a carnival barker. I don’t think Democrats are in a position to say whose criticism is valuable.

Any vote in the oligarchy is a vote thrown away.

Landlords are the fucking problem. They are leeches on society and have no place in it
