I agree, electoralism is not the way to get meaningful leftist change. Unfortunately, the only choices are a Neoliberal or a fascist, so leftists must pick the Neoliberal in elections.
Grassroots movements are the only way to move to the left, and it's very difficult to do so. Leftists have been battling liberals and fascists for centuries, and slowly building up coalitions.
It is objectively untrue that there is greater room for organizing under a democrat than under a republican. There has proven to be no demostrable difference. Orgs don't face any less sabotage, infiltration, or state repression under democrats than under republicans.
