nooooooo, surely if everyone continues to hold their nose and vote for the controlled opposition things will change

Even if they voted 3rd party instead Trump would still have won, what point do you think you're making?

exactly...so you have to usurp the party from within, same as MAGA did with the GOP.

this is how the DSA operates, only progressives in the room that know what the fuck they're doing

Scenario:

You need to clean your messy floors. There's a broom in one corner, and a dustpan somewhere. There's a vacuum cleaner in the closet but it's not plugged in and the filter may need cleaning. There's also a man with a gun to your head, telling to to ro exactly as he says, or he'll pull the trigger.

The liberal solution is to make sure the gun, the closest tool and only one in easy reach, is working at peak efficiency, and criticize all the others as impossibilities. Then maybe suck the guy off, even though he wasn't asking for it, just out of gratitude for helping you clean.
