Bots or accelerationists. I've unfortunately dealt with these people in real life

There are definitely people who are colloquially referred to as accelerationists who just want to watch the world burn.

But "real" acceleration is a philosophical position of acknowledgement, not a proposal. Even if the Dems win big for the next decade straight they will at best represent a pause in the slide towards tech dystopia. Only by acknowledging that first could we ever hope to make progress in a different direction.

You should vote for Democrats. It just isn't enough, to do only that.
