    Correct on all counts, no arguments here.

    I also don’t care what people vote for, only dislike when people encourage someone not to vote or worse accelerationism.

    There are a lot of problems with our political system, inaction makes all of them worse.

      Accelerationism has always been more cope than strategy.

      I’ve always held that spoiling your ballot is far more effective than simply not voting. But I would also argue that we do a lot of deliberate disenfranchisement, particularly in reactionary states and cities. So if people are getting the sense that voting is futile (or even dangerous), I’m sympathetic to that view.
