high horse to look down on the unwashed masses and tell them “you just don’t understand”

The "unwashed masses" don't vote. Even in the 2020 election, if "didn't vote" was a candidate, he would have won with an overwhelming landslide.

I’ve read Marx

Then why are you having so much trouble understanding that the American empire's access to vast amounts of labor across the world breaks the American working class's bargaining power? So long as you guys don't fight against the expansion of the empire, things will continue to get worse for you at home. Yet still, you think that voting for this or that imperialist bastard is going to win you concessions.

Not only that, but your welfare state pretty much only exists because your ancestors fought for it (Literally, with violence), and the threat of the ussr scared your bourgeoise. The modern "left" america has nothing to stand on, or stand for. It has no real ability to bring about change because it cannot even discipline a genocider.

What does not-voting do to change anything?

As part of a coordinated campaign like the uncommitted movement? It could have forced the Democrats to alter their strategies. Voting third party would have also been great. As long as you liberals would actually be willing to follow through, which you never are.
