In every election “left-leaning” neoliberals always try to guilt-trip Marxists into voting for their candidates with the usual schpiel: “Your party doesn’t have enough votes to win. You are just letting conservatives win”. What do you tell these people?
If you buy in to Lenin’s philosophy, voting for a (non-electoralist) communist party is good because they can direct the support into other outlets which can actually do good (mutual aid, dual power, general propogandizing)
