Personally, Gaza and his anti-railway workers union action was enough to destroy any credibility he had so far.

In 2016 Trump was obviously the accelerationist candidate.

In 2020, in the middle of covid, I would argue Trump was still the accelerationist candidate.

But in 2024, with two American vassals in the middle of separate wars, bricks continuing to expand and solidify, The failure of Russian sanctions, The failure of microprocessor sanctions on China, The US Navy's defeat in the Red Sea, a covid policy that essentially comes down to "pretend it doesn't exist" and The Democrats embrace of Republican border policy; I have a hard time seeing Biden as anything except the accelerationist choice anymore.
