Haven't watched the whole thing, but main problem here seems to be that both the socdems and Chomsky put loads of stock in voting or not voting as if it's of massive importance and not the least consequential activity it's possible to engage in.

If the past four years has shown anything it should be that reforming the Democratic Party is impossible. So much effort was put into it for so little result. 
There's a chasm between individually holding your nose and voting in a swing state, vs doing interviews telling people it's their moral duty to either definitely do that or definitely not do that.

If you read his endorsement of Biden, he praises electoralism more generally, like the Sanders campaign. No discussion of the very successful direct action against Trump the past four years (strikes, riots, sick outs, blockades).
