I don't mean to sound like a dick or fight you on this, and I understand your point of view, but I vehemently disagree. As much as I hate both Trump and Kamala, and as much as both need bullets in their heads, Kamala and the democrats are typically much smarter about at least giving the appearance of objectivity, and human-rights related fluff and posturing, and most Amerikkkans would go along with it way more easily, unlike Trump.

I think many people would be more bendable and willing to suck up to the democrats if Kamala was elected, which would greatly prolong the U.S. empire. Trump is almost on the verge of bringing the empire crashing down, like taking a pickaxe to a dike or a dam. Not to say that Trump himself isn't intelligent or manipulative, but he's evil and stupid enough to admit the quiet part out loud too many times.

I'm speaking as a Latino Texan.

I am new to communism and may have picked a misleading verb (accelerating the colapse), but I don't see myself as an accelerationist. I don't hope the US accelerates its decay into fascism. I want the US to economically collapse ASAP. If it collapses economically before it decays into fascism, the World will be better off. And Trump's incompetence is doing a fine job at that. Also, I do not think he is overall more inhumane than Kamala. He is probably worse for trans people, but Kamala is just as bad as Trump for many other groups (including Palestinians being genocided), and is even worse for Ukrainians and Russians. Kamala is not democratic, she only has better decorum and acting abilities.

• Trump is visibly evil (like Hitler), and pretty bad at administration (worse than Hitler I suppose). Trump is like a very stupid Hitler.
• Democratas are competent and cunning like Palpatine.

To the third world, American fascism has been around for a while. Ask Palestine.

This is just American imperialism coming back home

I am new to communism, so take this with a grain of salt.

Here in Brasil, the strongest leftist party is the Workers' Party. Communist Ian Neves and other communists condemn it as socdem. Yet Ian Neves strongly criticizes Trots who supported Dilma's unfair impeachment and Lula's imprisonment. He has also explicitly opposed accelerationism, because it leads to fascism which can make workers' lives miserable (bad in itself) and effectively crush communist movements. But I do not apply that reasoning to the dispute between the GOP and the "Democrats".

In Brasil, Lula has grave defects (bourgeois concessions), but he is far better than Bolsonaro or Tarcisio or any other neofascist, and much better even than the old supposedly civilized neoliberals like Fernando Henrique Cardoso.

In the US, would Kamala Harris be considerably better than Trump? She would have far better decorum, of course, but Palestine genocide would probably be just as bad as under Trump (as it was under Biden). She would murder Venezuelans just as mercilessly. She would give even more weapons to Ukraine. She would persecute American dissident students and leftists just as hard. All that with more competence and way more effective theater of pretending to defend democracy and human rights. McCarthyism and imperialism are bipartisan.

The only advantage I see for a Kamala victory would have been less hate and attacks on trans people. A big advantage indeed, but in my opinion that wouldn't justify defending Kamala. Leftists should vote for a real socialist party, organize, and build mutual aid. I am an ignorant cishet male, so take with grain of salt.

Anyway, you mentioned voting for the PSL (which is praised on Lemmy), so probably we agree on substance, and I only miscommunicated on the previous comment. I don't see myself as accelerationist.
