You can’t minimize damage from the bourgeoisie if you continue to support them. To eliminate damage from the bourgeoisie is to completely stop supporting them. The idea of lesser evil does not exist. It only exists in the mind of a liberal that thinks that they can reform the system as it stands. There are too many safeguards built into the system to prevent reform from happening. Any leftist that’s read an even single line from Marx knows that reform is the path to failure.

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.

So, let me see if I’ve got this straight, you believe the answer to class solidarity is supporting the people that are fighting class solidarity?

Attempting to reform the system has been done time and time again over decades, and it comes to the same conclusion: it does not work. Demsocs are a tool of the oligarchy to keep you tied up in electoralism so that you don’t fight for class solidarity against them.

Demsocs want to work within the confines of capitalism. Their goal isnt the liberation of the working class, but shackles with longer chains and rainbows.
