    Not in those words

    I’m voting both pragmatically and with my conscience by voting for Claudia De La Crúz.

    With the goal of

    Removing legitimacy from the system itself, and forcing the DNC to appeal to the left

    Is that not good? Or is it not real?

    Or maybe it won’t have that effect? Because that’s an idealistic plan, not a pragmatic one

    The same DNC that blamed the left for Hillary losing and then credited centrism with Biden winning?

    Those are fine goals, but pragmatism involves addressing reality as it is, not how you would like it to be. I doubt you can achieve both removing legitimacy from the system as you see it and forcing the DNC to speak to the left simultaneously since the DNC is a part of the system that’s in place. Unfortunately the DNC appealing to the left needs to be a two way street, make the left more appealing to the DNC than the right. All those Republicans endorsing Harris is the right appealing to the DNC, the left needs to out do that effort to pull the DNC to the left. Rejecting them won’t do that, only the opposite.
