How is exactly is not voting going to improve things? Are you an accelerationist? Or perhaps you think revolution is mutually exclusive to voting?
I don't think this meme is even against voting, just against voting for fascists with a D next to their name over fascists with an R.
The Democrats are the more competent managers of empire, so they are the accelerationist pick. The accelerationist position wants the most competent imperialists in power to accelerate capital concentration, and therefore speed up the contradictions of capital.
The point is to purity test would-be leftists while they are beginning to do the bare minimum of democratic participation.
