I haven’t noticed any tankies supporting Trump, no.

Oh, weird. In my feed, they’re always trying to convince left leaning folk not to vote for Biden so that Trump wins.

Yes, we do believe in participating in bourgeois elections in the form of our own party, the reasons for which were laid out by Lenin ages ago. It has nothing to do with the modern concept of “accelerationism,” or wanting Trump to win. If I were an accelerationist, I’d be spoiled for choice, conditions will continue to decline under either candidate. Unfortunately, accelerationism doesn’t work, and declining conditions are the reason we got Trump in the first place.

In a race between Trump and a person who created the conditions that make people like Trump inevitable, I support neither, instead, I support a position of fixing the conditions that led to Trump’s emergence, which is the only possible strategy of stopping facism in the long run.

The conditions that led to Trump’s rise to power were a deep-seated underlying racism that persists in several American subcultures, coupled with a failure to address wage suppression by allowing the minimum wage to fall behind the cost of living for decades and decades.

If I were an accelerationist, I’d be spoiled for choice, conditions will continue to decline under either candidate.

You’re still both-sides-ing a clear-cut choice between lawless capitalism and the status quo with fringe improvements. Here I thought you were a left wing person who prefers the poor to suffer less. I was wrong, you’re a classic tankie, I’m afraid, who draws no distinction. You could use your vote to prevent the clear and present danger of a much worse situation in America, but you’ve become convinced that letting Trump win is the nobler, purer action. Save me from “leftist” hard-right enablers!
