    Voting third party in a swing state is an amazing idea. It shows that they will lose voters if they ignore their voterbase.

      Of course. And that’s how we got Trump elected because people didn’t like Hilary, especially in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

      People already showed that they don’t want Biden during the primaries. Biden could lose Michigan without Arab-American support, which is evident based on the primary results, but he is still actively trying to lose the election.

      So, should we vote 3rd party and make Biden lose votes to teach him a lesson or just vote for Biden to keep Trump out? Neither of the 2 options are ideal but that’s what we have right now.

      Same applies for a Trump supporter. You don’t want to vote for a Felon and you rather let Biden win?

      Our election system is outdated and does not represent the needs or wants of the people. We need to have more than 2 viable candidates as options but 70 year olds won’t change anything so that they be President when they turn 80. Hopefully someday they make some changes to the election system.

      It’s good to see you finally being openly honest with your wish to fuck up America.

      Heads up: your little group of accelerationists don’t represent the Democratic voter base, by the way. You have already been counted out demographically as they know that every four years there will be people that will buy into conservative propaganda and not vote.

      Just like what’s happening here.

          “While originally used by the far left, the term has, in a manner strongly distinguished from original accelerationist theorists, been used by right-wing extremists.”

          Unless your boy is a conservative posing as a left wing propagandist, I’m not accusing anyone of being a “terrorist.“

          What you’re all doing though, is your very best to ensure this country collapses under Trump. And you’re all insisting everyone not vote for the one person with the chance to keep him from overthrowing America over a single issue you didnt even give a shit about less than a year ago…

          That means….

            A. That’s your opinion. Nobody here has said they want the country to collapse. Accusing them of accelerationism is unfounded at best.

            B. Left wing violent accelerationism very much exists in extreme anarchist movements. Not sure why wiki ignored that. But the number of non violent accelerationists is incredibly small. As an ideology it quickly moves people along into violence as the only way to truly move faster.

            C. It would be entirely inside their ideology for a conservative accelerationist to depress the vote by any means. They want the democracy gone.

            So, again. You do not get to accuse people of being terrorists or political extremists just because they won’t vote for your fearless leader. It’s ridiculous, self serving, and bad faith in a democracy.

        Voting for Biden now is taking the brakes off a car heading towards a cliff.

        The Democrats will never ever change course from becoming an extreme right wing party. Actually it’s too late.

        Democrats are on board with Genocide and their immigration policy is at Trump levels. There is nothing to gain anymore with Biden winning.

          And voting for Trump is what exactly? Because that is what you are accomplishing with your propaganda here. You’re getting Trump elected.

          And everyone knows when that happens, you will disappear from here and resurface as a victim like the rest of the far left.

          Every four years…

              Do you have trouble reading? I’m serious. Is there some problem you have with understanding what the topic of a statement is?

              Because I never said anything similar to thinking about voting for Trump. So you either have a reading comprehension issue, or you’re purposefully trolling. Which is against the rules of this community.
