electoralism can’t work, voting won’t fix this

voting for the democrats is bad

It's much more a case of electoralism does nothing to help the working class people, only the rich and by voting for the parties and participating in their system, you're accepting their false idea that voting for one of two genocidal parties is the only option.

So it's an idea that electoralism will do nothing to stop the genocide, but will provide support for the very system that has lead to this "choice" between two actively genocidal parties. The US tries to frame itself as a democracy, but if the people actively opposed the system, recognising it as undemocratic, the ruling class would need to actively give concessions to the working class, or face revolt.

It's like a worker's strike. If your boss treats you like shit and doesn't listen to anything you or the vast majority of their employees say, then you make your voices heard one way or another, if the "official channels" for making your voice heard don't work, then you need to use a different method, the alternative of passive acceptance of the system does nothing but show the people in charge that they can continue on their current path and people will do nothing to stop them.

So since the democrats refuse to budge on this issue of genocide, we can surmise that "electoralism can't work, voting won't fix this." as the powers that be will not change their minds on this issue. Voting for the democrats shows that despite them actively supporting a genocide, the voting public won't "strike" and will meekly accept anything they do, regardless of how horrific it is. So this is why "voting for the democrats is bad."
