I live in a red state where Biden has no chance of winning, along with pretty much all of the Democratic candidates at any position they run in.

If the Dems gave two shits about getting out the vote for "team blue" then they'd spend all their time and money setting up and running mutual aid groups for the unhoused, under employed, people without affordable eye/dental/hearing care, getting transgender people things like minor surgeries/hormones, getting pregnant people proper heathcare or abortion services, offices open 24 hours staffed with people who's sole purpose is to get anybody that walks in the door every cent of government assistance that can be squeezed out ...

Instead, the Dems do the same shit they accuse the third parties of doing, just throwing some rando candidates on a ballot every 2~4 years who magically appear in public about 4 months before any election and dissolve into mist the day after the voting is done.

It's not just the US. These mainstream political parties are telling on themselves when they don't do what you've suggested. They conceive of themselves entirely in electoral and legislative terms. It's the downfall of 'left' parties the world over. It has never and could never cross their minds to do something with their huge memberships. It's beyond them in every sense of the word.

Communists parties, on the other hand (and anarchist orgs, tbf) start by working with the people. To libs this can only every be a calculated trick to fool the people into support. The cognitive dissonance must hit like a gorilla to hold those thoughts together at the same time in their heads. No wonder they're dazed.

Better vote for the party that is never in danger of tricking passers-by into thinking it might do something to help the people.
