I'm not American. I get what you're saying though. But the quote of Tom Morello in the article, after the bit I quoted with "vote your ass off", then says:

...but don't just exercise your right to vote. Exercise your right to fight for, organize for, struggle for, and manifest the kind of world you'd like to really see...

But in any and every contested race, as my mom Mary Morello always said, we have to fight the fascist every which way we can, recognizing that even if there's but an inch of difference between two candidates, there are a lot of vulnerable people who could be greatly harmed in that inch. So vote your ass off

I think this is reasonable. A "corporate Democrat", even if bad, can be better than a Republican in many cases. The Democrat might end up being less bad, for lots of disadvantaged people, than a Republican would be. These aren't ideal choices to make, but you have to deal with reality as it is.

He's right, and people can see he's right, which is why they voted for him to become mayor of NYC

Meanwhile Republicans are a bunch of oligarchs who are like "No you can't vote for socialists because... look at all this culture war stuff! Please keep us in power!"

I have to unfortunately admit that I'm interested in both, which is why I keep coming back to social media platforms like this one.
