    YES! It was weird getting called a Lib for caring about Force the Vote. The entire point was to expose the fact that the strategy and tactics of Democrats in Congress can not & will not change. There is no influence on the inside. The only time concessions are offered is during revolutionary ruptures.

    It is not a coincidence that the bourgeoisie pumped record money into coopting the anti-racist uprising last year. If it developed an independent, national proletarian consciousness, this nation would have been shaken to its core. Instead, the uprisings only had the Democratic Party as a national political force. It was a bumpy ride for the bourgeoisie, but they made it another year.

    Any moment spent legitimizing the Democratic Party delays revolutionary ruptures. "The Squad" legitimized the Party, Force the Vote delegitimized the Party.
