I believe in this context he quoted something Marx wrote about supporting “revolutionary parties in Bourgeoisie elections” and either missed the “revolutionary” part or he claimed the Democrats to be revolutionary.
He took a quote about Marx supporting Communists running in Bourgeoisie elections and twisted it to support voting for Bourgeoisie parties.

Yea, there’s no genuine way to read this other than Marx supporting PSL or other actual Leftist parties, surely people have pointed this out, right? Right?
Sort of, I’m showing how even taking him at his best, he is still the worst. As a rule I try to assume good faith before dunking, because even good-faith readings of Vaush are terrible.
The fact that he provided zero quotes to back up his claims about this, given that he positioned himself as having read these figures works thoroughly, says it all.
I recall he made a video during the lead up to the 2020 election where he took Marx and Lenin quotes out of context to make it sound like they support voting for Biden.
Specifically it was the Lenin segment on whether communists should participate in bourgeois elections, where Lenin argues that communists should participate by organizing as a communist party. They will have no expectation of winning, because bourgeois democracy is a myth, but it will be useful to spread propaganda and explicitly to show that bourgeois democracy is rigged.
Saying this means “LENIN WOULD HAVE VOOTED FOR BIDEN” was one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen, and the bar for liberal politics streamers is already in hell.
This is some of the absolute dumbest shit I have ever read. What on Earth could Vaush have ever read beyond Wikipedia that led him to this conclusion?

Sounds like a fever-dream
Vaush lied as naturally as he breathed…

It’s insulting to people who have actually made the effort of doing so, and is immediately transparent for those who have.
