I feel like a general rule of thumb for electoralism is that you’re picking your enemies. Not your friends.
I think this is one that could have stayed in hexbear. We can have both electoralism and direct action.
And yes, modern dsa is not very leftist compared to global/European standards, I’d still rather have mediocre politicians trying their best and not actively trying to benefit the oligarchs instead of geriatric rapists and pedophiles activity destroying the country.
We can have both electoralism and direct action.
You can’t. Human time and motivation are finite resources.
That doesn’t explain why we can’t have both though, because human time and motivation being finite doesn’t stop us from having those things.
With electoralism do you mean just voting or doing other stuff like wheat-pasting for candidates?
Why spend finite resources doing something useless (electioneering)
