    Lol, yes. There are metaphorical carrots pulling the DNC to the right, I think we agree there. Now if you want to be “pragmatic” about it will a metaphorical stick from the left move them more left, or more right given the way we can see they calculate?

            Not in those words

            I’m voting both pragmatically and with my conscience by voting for Claudia De La Crúz.

            With the goal of

            Removing legitimacy from the system itself, and forcing the DNC to appeal to the left

            Is that not good? Or is it not real?

            Or maybe it won’t have that effect? Because that’s an idealistic plan, not a pragmatic one

              It’s a minor effect, equivalent to signal boosting a good message. My single vote isn’t going to do jack shit in the grand scheme of things, organizing will.
