the idea that voting blue will bring the change you want

Yeah, this is the stupid I wanted to argue against. This isn't an either-or proposition. Voting blue is necessary to make sure we don't all get thrown into ICE-camps before the next election cycle. Reforming the party is necessary so that we don't all die of climate change, wage slavery, and corporate takeover. "The Dems" are not going to reform the party. We need to reform that party. There are important people like Bernie and AOC trying to do that, but they're outnumbered by the ghouls about 20-to-1. This type of "principled" stand to refuse to vote for anything blue until they get better on their own will do negative 0 percent to help accomplish that mission.
