Nitpicking ain't the same as doing the work to get a more progressive candidate through primaries of a major party & onto the ballot.
I know, right? How many of the people shitting on everyone right of Emma Goldman and Mikhail Bakunin ever did any real community organizing, volunteering, or political canvassing? How many have actively worked to push the Democratic party farther left, rather than just shitposting online about how awful Dems are? Sure, we all want (well, a lot of the people here, I suspect) want socialist candidates that are smart and tough on the ballot. But are we doing to work at a local level to get there? This shit doesn't happen overnight; you start work locally, work up to a state level, and then go national, once you've got that base of support.
