      Good luck explaining electoral politics to accelerationists, their political philosophy relies on not understanding that their methods only ever lead to more and more pain. The whole point is to make things intolerable to the point of revolution. Which would be very bloody in this country.

        You’re right things are so peaceful in America today. Children aren’t getting shot in schools, black people aren’t getting beaten to death, millions aren’t dying from poverty or preventable health issues, etc.

        This is like arguing killing a ceo is immoral because it’s violent while letting slide the people they kill through policy.

          And letting the greater evil win sure helps all of those issues, doesn’t it?

            The greater evil always wins when you vote the lesser evil, can you not see the diagram in OPs post?

        This is precisely the kind of apathy to civic duty that won 4 more years of Trump (but this time with house, Senate and a stacked Scotus!).

        The thing with voting rights is you have to use it or you lose it. Pray you don’t lose it between now and the next one.
