Hence my original point, leftists must vote for liberals, even if it isn’t ever going to improve the system, and must work themselves to build up leftist structures without hoping for help from liberals. If they don’t vote, then fascists take power, and leftists lose the chance to build leftist structures at all.
I do think you’re too hopeful that a 2 party Capitalist state designed to change as little as possible would meaningfully improve from within, rather than under pressure from without, but it would be great if you were right about that.
I’m not that hopeful that the left can change the system from within, to be honest, I’m just certain it’s too late to think about that because under fascist rule, not only will things not improve, but many of us will face genocide.
The time for leftist change was 20 years ago, or with any luck, 8 or so years from now after the fascist threat has been quashed. Right now we have to think about unifying like it’s 1932.
Only thing I disagree with is the idea that leftist change was more possible 20 years ago, Capitalism’s instability and inherent structural flaws only make themselves more apparent and severe as time goes on, and with that comes potential for change. The left is larger than ever before, and is constantly growing.

Liberals are fucking fascists. Pay attention to what they do, not what they say.
