    It’s not accelerationism…

    It’s the opposite

    I want to stop both parties from moving further to the right

    If I keep voting for one no matter how far right they go, then there’s no pressure to ever stop, slow down, and especially not start moving left.

    I’ve tried a lot over 20 years, nothing works, if anything the party has become more antagonistic to progressives.

    Will they listen and move left?

    Probably not.

    But what else can I do that has a better chance?

    Have you seen Biden’s response to protests? Primaries are a joke, my only option on ballot this year was Biden, and he had crowned himself months earlier anyways. And it’s already been multiple cycles since the DNC told a judge it’s totally cool for them to rig it, because the results are nonbinding.

    They canceled a fucking states primary this year…

    That was a big fucking deal

    So seriously, if you have any better solution I’d love to here it
