      Wrong. We have leverage in the local party board voting. We have leverage in the local municipal elections. We have leverage in state legislature and governor elections. We have leverage in the primaries.

      Once the primaries are over, we have no leverage and we should do all we can to prevent the fascists from winning at all costs.

        agree, we can’t let fascism win at any cost. even at the cost of an election that requires unconditional support from its voters for a genocide.
