LOL. You have no idea what accelerationism is if you think that what I said is in any way related to accelerationism. You’re just regurgitating things you’ve heard without understanding. Here, do some reading: uniteamerica.org/…/report-most-americans-votes-do… nationalaffairs.com/…/does-high-voter-turnout-hel… chicagobooth.edu/…/forcing-people-vote-doesnt-cha…

I am begging you people to read up on the terms you use. Youre all just saying shit without understanding it. Accelerationism is not “when someone wants something, anything, to happen faster” you oaf. It is not “someone who wants things to get bad really quickly” either. It is a specific marxist tendency where those that subscribe to it believe that capital must be nearly completely concentrated in the imperial core in order for the conditions necessary for a successful proletarian revolution to occur. They therefore believe that the faster capital can be accumulated, the faster we can advance. As such they support whomever they consider the most competent administrators of empire. In the US that is, in the eyes of most people, the democratic party. Accelerationists would therefore generally vote for democrats and urge others to do as well. Learn what the terms you use mean. If you are trying to argue that republicans are more competent administrators of empire and the arguments the person you are responding to follow the line of reasoning of an accelerationist, then you gotta provide arguments to aid your assertions. I might as well call you a republican, its just as logical as your statement.
