The way I honestly see it, there are only 2 probable options

  1. Dems win and chuds wig out against the government for no reason despite getting everything they ever wanted, because they are simply subhuman automatons

  2. Reps win and chuds do not wig out against the government (and also still get everything they wanted)

IMO pretty much everything between 1 and 2 are the same, except that in 1 the chuds are at least somewhat more preoccupied by the government and inclined to play ''''''roblox''''' with them.

    I guess I agree with what you're saying. I'm stuck on the term you're using for it, because what you're advocating is now clearly the exact opposite of accelerationism. Wrecking the US state is not accelerationism. I want to wreck the state and I'm very anti-accelerationist. Advocating for the Dems as a stop gap (however minor) against the very worst of Republican reaction is decidedly not accelerationist.

    I don't think Dems in power is going to take any chud attention off minorities, because they see the Dems and minorities as one and the same. But it would mean the most insanely hateful people on earth aren't in power, and there's value in that.

      I guess I'm using the wrong words. "Accelerationism" is supposedly when you try to force the system to accelerate more. That is not what I want.

      I simply believe that the system is destined to accelerate. This is what I meant by "an accelerationist case". Since the system is destined to accelerate, we may as well manage it optimally, and I see many reasons why Dems would be preferable to Reps:

      1. marginally, very, very very VERY marginally better rights for Non-White people, LGBT people, and other groups. Meaning the Dems are probably slightly less likely to cancel a $1000 scholarship for some gay kid somewhere, which is pretty much irrelevant but it's objectively better than 0.

      2. The liberal base, and any remaining "convert-able" liberals, will continue to witness fascist horrors take place under Dem rule, possibly becoming disillusioned, and possibly making a leftist third party more feasible. If Reps were elected instead, the alternative would simply be the right-most Dem administration you can think of, like Joe Biden is right now.

      3. chuds are irrational subhumans who hate Dems. If Dems are in power, their anger is focused on the political establishment. Let them fight.

          so you’re saying if the US goes to total shit and we say "look libs!! did nothing! now all you need to do is

          Yea. I think that if we had dems in power for like, 3 straight terms for example, and literally nothing gets done, some of the lemmings might start to wake up. In theory. At worst it just does nothing, it's not like voting republican is doing anything good so I might as well.
