It's an empirical fact that a liberal government makes it easier to do radical politics. It's generally less repressive and less likely to scare the working class and dissidents, but very limited in the good things it can do, which makes the limits of the system much clearer. It's no accident, as the vulgar Marxists used to say, that the movements of the 1960s and the "Seattle" movement happened with Dems in the White House. That doesn't mean you have to campaign for the fuckers.
