"earn your vote". That's not how democracy works. Even in a workers council voting will suck and be a matter of lesser bad.

we're getting a little bit past the point of them being just the lesser bad though. both sides are genocidal.

where is the line where we stop accepting it?

We should never "accept" bad outcomes, not even in a workers council. But still use it to push for the best outcome, fight the bad outcome as well.
