Leftist equivocation is more than a simple "critique." It distorts reality to paint a hopeless picture that encourages apathy and people who unironically choose to not vote for the lesser evil. It brings this both sides bullshit into the realm of acceptable conversation when it really shouldn't be.

It's like when Nazis talk about Soros controlling the world and promoting "globalism." There are valid criticisms that must be made about billionaires like Soros and their promotion of global capitalism, but that isn't what Nazis mean when they fear monger about them. They single out Soros because he's Jewish, say he controls the world because of cabal conspiracy theories, and don't give a fuck about fixing capitalist exploitation. You don't let the Nazi stay once they become identifiable; you kick them out and avoid feeding their arguments.

Just like how many conservatives that complain about Soros are unaware of the Nazi dogwhistles, many Leftists who equivocate the parties don't recognize the accelerationist underpinnings. Your critique of Biden isn't the problem. Unintentionally feeding apathy and accelerationism is where you fuck up. Bring up those critiques in a post that doesn't promote apathy. A generic "Democrats suck" post would be better than this meme.
