Sure, show up and vote in a primary that was already decided by AIPAC money, if not the various other super PACs that have the power to decide elections. Trying to cause radical change through elections, via a party that is structurally designed from the ground up to suffocate radicalism, is like trying to stop the spread of STDs by hoping everyone stops having sex. You need a different approach. Join a union, if you're in the US join the PSL, if you can buy a gun and learn how to use it, and get started on building parallel power structures. You won't elect away climate collapse and fascism, they will be overthrown by force.
