But also, don't just rely on primaries. Go hound them, right now. Go picket their offices. Figure out where they live and protest at their houses. If they're spotted in restaurants, call them the fuck out for being Nazi collaborators. Make them regret ever casting their vote.

Is building an LLM inherently problematic? Not necessarily, but there's no good way to do it under capitalism. Is using an local LLM funding these evil companies? No. It's not.
Spelling and grammar checking is one of the few uses of LLMs that is not based on fundamentally failing to understand what an LLM actually is.
