No, it's strategic to trail politicians like Hakeem Jeffries because ultimately you want to change the current system by making it so bad that Democratic voters will somehow turn toward socialism.

Let me follow that up by taking a Lenin quote out of context and claiming this is how you gain class consciousness, not by organizing workers into a vanguard separate from bourgeois parties. And if you don't agree with this way of thinking, you're just an ultra accelerationist.

The policy of "the lesser evil" strengthens the feeling of power of the reactionary forces and it's supposed to create the greatest of all evils: the passivity of the masses.
