Unfortunately voting for Democrats isn't harm reduction. It's just a vote against harm acceleration.

Ummm...that's literally what "harm reduction" is, though. You are minimizing the damage fascists can do, and giving yourself more time to get alternatives in place.

The only way we'll ever see harm reduction. Is if we primary every candidate from every party.

You can't do that if you don't vote against fascism in every election...even the ones where you don't have a favorite candidate. If you choose to sit out the elections that don't have an ideal candidate...then how do you expect one to run, once the fascists use their power to cancel future elections? You have to keep them out of office, if you want to have any hope of pursuing better alternatives.
