Maybe I exaggerated saying our votes literally don't matter, but I was thinking in terms of voting our way out of capitalism when we're living in a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. In a later stage of class consciousness where we can win without running as dems, maybe we should participate.
I'd be ok with this and thats why I try not to dump on DSA people running as dems too much, BUT, and this is a big but, I think they should be running as revolutionary communists with the goal of educating the masses. Their goals should not be just getting into office and passing minor reforms.
