The problem is that from an anti-capitalist perspective, any pro-capital candidate is completely unacceptable. We have never really been given the option for anything else.
Obviously there are degrees of wrong, but man, it really isn't a good situation to be in to have to vote for one degree of wrong over the other. Even if it is multitudes of shades worse than the other.
I don't find it productive to blame the voter for our situation. All you are doing is alienating would-be allies on the left.
That's literally how democracy works. That's the only possible way for it to work. You must compromise somewhere.
