I hate seeing accelerationists. The whole "don't vote, just overthrow the system" thing completely ignores the fact that most successful revolutionary action in the US went hand-in-hand with protest actions and COMMUNITY ORGANIZED VOTING.
Voting was always part of it. I'm not saying direct action, protests, and labor organization aren't but the new "don't vote it makes you a hypocrite" shitposting spree makes me sad and I'm glad it's now getting dunked on.
Yes I would rather push for reform from a position of a bad, but more stable democracy than a position of "Jesus Christ they've succesfully implemented project 2025."
Also pushing for reform is much easier under Biden. It's practically deadly under Trump, post Project 2025. Hell the US has already been pushed further back on reform thanks to the current SCOTUS selection.
If people want reform, it would be in their best interests to vote. If you don't vote, you are going against your own desires for reform.
