Democrats convincing ppl "voting for a candidate isn't an endorsement of their positions" has to be one of the most insane things ever said in US politics. That's literally why you vote! That's how "consent of the governed" is established according to liberal political theory!
There's no such thing as "strategic voting." Voting is *always* an assent to have your interests represented by the person you voted for in lieu of your direct self-representation. That's why it's representative democracy and not direct democracy. It's the will of the majority.
I don't believe that b/c I'm not a liberal, but y'all do! I know that this is class dictatorship and that elections are an ideological buy-in to the system as different factions of the capitalist class vie for their own interests, while also cooperating in repressing the workers.
