Aren't the only ones saying this the Dems?

Voting is the least we can do BUT... do not expect systematic change (that helps the working class) to come from the top down. Both parties agree on legal bribery, insider trading, "good billionaires", the voting system, and the two party system. Meaningful change is going to require more effort: i.e., grass roots organizing from the bottom up. Start in your own community and the change will grow organically.

As an old leftist i find that the young American left is hyper focused on punishing politicians based on things that should be, not based on how things are.

Yes it would be nice if the world was like you want it, but it isn’t. Voting the lesser of two evils is just how most of us around the world do it.

But an example is the whole car free/anti car thing, Yes that would work if cities had adequate transit and service, but they don’t, and they won’t in my lifetime. It would be nice but it’s not going to happen, ever. So I may as well just vote for the candidates who fund transit instead of trying to find a candidate who is yelling about being anti car

Obviously you're transphobic genocide lovers who demand corporate ownership of the meats of production.
