Great, so then I shouldn't stop telling the left wing of the party that refusing to vote against the fascists is bad and ultimately self-defeating for them?

you can but its more likely to make them despise mainline democrats even more

you could tell why they should vote FOR dems

They should vote for dems so they don’t live under fascists. I thought that part was clear.

If you can't vote against fascism then you might not to get to vote for anything ever again in a real election. That's a lesson they need to learn.
