Are there any peole actually advocating to do nothing? How many accelerationists do you really think there are?
There's been a lot of positivity about Zohran Mamdani lately. A socialist winning even just a primary in the largest city in America is a big threat. So there's currently a big push to tamp down on that and portray the movement as politically unviable and a handout to the far-right.
How long have you been on this site? Nearly every day there's someone putting forward the "Aktually, Trump winning is GOOD because now The Left Will Truly Rise As Was Foretold"
Long enough to know that's bullshit. You sure you aren't just browsing a specific instance? I browse the all variant cause I want to see what people are thinking broadly without getting in too much of an echochamber, and I don't think I've seen even one.
There are people in this very comm, nearly every day, putting forward that idea.
Like, if I go and grab some recent quotes, will I be wasting my time, evoking a "Yes but those are just SOME people, I would actually require (Number of quotes provided+1) to believe you", or have you just genuinely not noticed them?
No. There isn't. This is just an incredibly flimsy strawman argument that fails to conceptualize that there are alternatives to voting when it comes to exerting one's political will.
I've genuinely met people who say that voting does nothing yet take zero other actions to better their situation.
