It’s racism tbh. If these were white Americans or Europeans, we’d be doing everything in our power to stop it and not grossly downplaying it by saying it’s “just one thing.”

      It’s definitely not accelerationism. Accelerationism refers to people who vote in bad faith to try to hasten the downfall of our system. In the context of the US election in 2024, it would mean supporting Trump and his fascist party.

      Is that good?

      I’m not sure what you’re asking, sorry. Is what good? I thought the user made a good point, but I’m not sure my cropping and such is perfect.

        Thanks for clarity I’m interested and questions go through my head as the election approaches: What is the good alternative to participating in voting? Is it bad to vote for Biden if we don’t have third options?

          These are questions on my mind as well. If you’d asked me a few months ago, I’d have said I’m certainly voting for Biden, but he’s only doubled down on his support for the genocide and his fascist border policy, and worst of all his staunch supporters are deflecting any criticism and blame, with many even praising his actions, leading me to believe that Project 2025 is coming even with Biden.

          The only argument I can conceive of for voting for him at this point is to buy us time to take more meaningful, organized action to dismantle the system, but there’s no point if we’re just going to sit and watch, waiting for our pseudo-democracy to save us.

          I don’t think there’s an easy answer, and I don’t think it would be tasteful to tell you to vote, to not vote, or to vote third party. I’m trending toward voting for the Democrat, who disgustingly will be a genocidal maniac, worse than the worst serial killer in history.

          I think if a lot of us vote for some chosen third party socialist, we could get a decent chunk of the vote like in the primaries. My hope is it would move the policies of the Dem party left if they lose.
