That might be true for most other democracies where the winning parties can form a coalition and install a president from amongst them, but the US voting system is so broken with extreme gerrymandering and the electoral college etc, that there currently are only two options:
Support the lesser evil, nudge it left and in parallel work to unfuck things on state kevel.
Rebellion / civil war and vote the lesser evil as backup plan.
Because different from countries with the ability of coalitions on the highest level, the perfect lefty party can’t join with the moderate lefty party or liberals and show how good they are and grow. In the US the left parties will be sidelined as an indirect vote for the right wing, because the right wingers will vote in unity, and they will rig the system more every time to keep it like that.
This is my biggest complaint about posts like these. Not only wrong, but completely unhelpful.
And unproductive, pointlessly divisive, and creating a boogeyman out of potential allies
Leftists shootings themselves in the foot. Practically an icon.
leftists should not be making allies out of right-wing parties.

I don’t consider war crime apologists potential allies. Woe is me.
