only dislike when people encourage someone not to vote or worse accelerationism

Accelerationism has always been more cope than strategy.

I've always held that spoiling your ballot is far more effective than simply not voting. But I would also argue that we do a lot of deliberate disenfranchisement, particularly in reactionary states and cities. So if people are getting the sense that voting is futile (or even dangerous), I'm sympathetic to that view.
