… and that’s why I’ve given up on electoral politics as a serious means to social change.

If I spend 30 years’ worth of time and money that I’m never going to get back on organizing, and all I can expect to get at the end of it is a bunch of hang-wringing quasi-liberal Democrat politicos sitting in the existing institutions of power, then I may as well save myself the trouble and just bang my head into a brick wall for the same length of time. At least the brick wall won’t fill my mailbox with fundraising junk mail, too.
