So is this guy for accelerationism? He seems to be saying everything shifts more left and left every cycle. And yes he's correct on that.
However, one of his arguments was "if you vote then you're saying that you support the entire party platform"
I have to disagree with that. I think it's rare that most or even a majority of a candidate's voters agree with everything on a said candidate's platform. Most voters are 1 or 2 issue voters. Nobody agrees with 100% of the party platform, to suggest so is a poor basis for the argument on "sending a message".
When one guy says he's going to "deport deport deport" and the other gal says "let them stay", you at least have to vote for the guy that says deport deport deport. At worst he lied, at mid he tries and fails, and best he succeeds. With her at best... well there is no best, you guaranteed get more dirty immigrants ruining the country your ancestors built.
