    Look, no Democrat is saying she’d be great or even close to being better than Biden.

    But she’d certainly be better than Trump. And if she can split the Republican votes in the general election, even better.

        When Haley tries to overthrow the government, I’ll say she’s as bad as Trump. Until that happens, I say Trump is worse.

      No, she wouldn’t be. Trump at least has value from an accelerationist POV, Haley’s going to do all things Trump would but as less of a publicly shitposting moron.

        Fuck that shit. Trump would only accelerate towards fascism and the lil’ tankies pretending otherwise would be like the clown car convoy in Texas.

        Except unlike those in Texas, they would have cops happily bashing in their skulls why they wonder why the country hasn’t descended into civil war against Trump.

        Meanwhile Israel would be given carte blanche to genocide on a far grander scale, Russia would be genociding Ukrainians, and the Taiwanese would be sold off to China in a dodgy backroom deal, the environment would be even more fucked then under a libshit government, and people worldwide would suffer more than they already are.

        If you want to accelerate something, go sacrifice your life and assassinate a Republican politician not hand them the keys to the world’s largest army.

        I think Biden is the accelerationist candidate. Why? Bc if Trump wins, the system will just roll over and enforce his whims. The Dems will just accept it, and there likely will never be any more democracy. It will be much harder to force change. However, if Biden wins, the right will not accept it. Either the republicans will attempt to disrupt the election results, or the right will escalate domestic terrorism, etc.
