Maybe we just care about different things, but I've been voting for progressives for decades and can't point to much of anything I've seen fixed. If anything, I've watched the world at large and our politics get worse.

I still think there's some value in voting (see the above re: choosing the enemy we will face), but I think it's a mistake to expect or wait for politicians to save us. We have to build a better world for ourselves and take care of each other in the places and ways that we can without waiting for an invitation or asking permission.

Brit here, can confirm voting also breaks things. A lot of people voted for Brexit as a "stick it to the establishment" and thinking they won't do it anyway because voting doesn't actually do change anything.

Please Americans reading this vote!

Well said. Voting is your BARE MINIMUM civic duty, you can't act like ur gonna tear the system down and all this shit if u can't even go speak ur mind in the booths.

But not voting, or voting for fascists, absolutely will never fix anything.

I think there are more accelerationists on this platform than you might realize.
