This might be true, but it's a little tangential

It probably is, and what you describe is probably more representative of what most leftists think about liberal/conservative politics, but I don't think that matters much to liberals. I don't think liberals care whether you are an R voting accelorationist leftist or a leftist who doesn't engage out of indifference. The liberals see both actions as essentially helping the Republicans, which is an unthinkable crime, in their minds. It's just two different groups with two different ideologies; ideologies that each group believes are mutually exclusive.

which is an unthinkable crime, in their minds

Is that even up for debate? Republicans want to genocide trans people. Why is it even a question about who to support.

Just a stupid thing: You could have been using that word like that on purpose for effect, which is fine, but just in case; They want to annihilate trans people, possibly eugenicize trans people, but you can't commit genocide on trans people cause it's not an ethnic group or nation.

Sorry, I had to get that out of my system or I wouldn't be able to sleep.

Yea, no argument there. I just think people accuse leftists as being 'accelerationist' as a way to paint them as 'just as bad' as republicans, or worse-than since they acknowledge the damage being done but are actively rooting for it instead of being indifferent or in denial as a republican voter might be.

There are certainly leftists that fit that description, but I think it's just a convenient way for some to dismiss them as crazies.
