electoralism is near useless from the standpoint of any hard leftist looking to achieve more than crumbs, but also within that system, the US has a history of voter suppression as long as the history of the country itself, so it's safe to say that even within the usefulness of voting (which only really applies to liberal politics), there are definitely folks who want it to stop being useful.

Also, voting doesn't make you a "bad leftist". Sure most candidates aren't worth voting for and voting for a neolib candidate would make you a bad leftist, but saying that voting just at all makes you a bad leftist is like saying that buying things makes you a bad socialist. We exist under electoralism as we do under capitalism, the difference being capitalism is much more present in the day to day.

Just, ending thoughts,
-Voter suppression is real
-We don't have to vote but if there's a non-neolib candidate on a ballot why not
-some third thing that i can't think of, fuck it.
