Not really. Most who hold this view are far left.

It's still a stupid view based on frustration with the establishment rather than reality. Emotions being valid doesn't make a falsehood more correct. Republicans have never been worse and Democrats are better than they've been in decades.

The only coherent argument behind not voting for Biden is accelerationism. It's a morally bankrupt strategy that's unlikely to work, but at least it's a long term plan that thinks beyond cutting off your nose to spite your face.

How is accelerationism a "long term plan that thinks beyond cutting off your nose to spite your face"? There's no long term plan at all, it's simply a false hope that people will rise up when things get shitty enough, and from those ashes some kind of utopia will sprout. That's not a plan at all, that's just a dream.

It's a shitty strategy that's divorced from reality, but it does recognize the outcome of not electing Biden. Ignorant leftists on here purposefully ignore the results of their decision so they can feel justified. They want Biden to get what he deserves, but ignore the results of their actions.

It's ironic, because socialism is often associated with utilitarianism and consequentialism, yet these keyboard socialists valorize ignoring consequences.
