Former democratic party activists are organizing Muslims and Arab-Americans in Swing states to vote against Biden with the demand that he support a ceasefire in Gaza.

I'll allow them a little bit of electoralism this time.

Genocide Joe vs Trump is a debate over whether to drive off a cliff while following the speed limit or at 120 MPH.

The best possible argument you can make for Biden is that the left isn't organized enough to be endorsing accelerationism

It's not a real good one

From a purely tactical electoralist perspective, you are better off showing up to vote for down-ballot state and local officials and leaving national ones blank. It's the opposite of what people normally do, which is just not show up if they don't like the national candidates. The parties look at the difference in votes both between candidates and in terms of the overall number cast.

Yeah that's probably the best approach.

Accelerationism is when you spend the first Tuesday ocurring after a Monday in November gooning on your couch instead of voting to re-elect the guy who's arming genocidaires and spreading blood libel in addresses to the nation.
