We are voting as a way of putting our foot on the breaks while we organize outside of it. The train is going fast. Trump accelerates it and Harris makes it go slower.
I got no beef with people voting for Democrats in the general election, even though I disagree with their choice, because it doesn’t affect the outcome of anything. My beef is with these delegates, these people in a position of influence and power.
Nobody is saying Harris will stop or reverse the train. But we are not going accelerate the train and hurt even more people than it already is.
Of course we shouldn’t accelerate the “train”, I cannot stress enough that I agree with that statement and that accelerationism is bad, but it is my view that
Voting in the general election does nothing to brake the train. Not near zero, zero. Voting is orthogonal to what needs to be done. If it’ll make you more comfortable, then go vote I guess.
Voting as a DNC delegate requires you to tow their party line and do other things that compromise any intended “braking” of the “train”. This specific vote, as well as any other equivalent collaboration with the Democratic establishment, is what I am irritated about.
