Handbrake would be a drastic action to slow down. In this case accelerationists want to accelerate towards the cliff, hoping there's some good outcome from that, instead of trying to slow down.

Though it's true that that doesn't capture the fact that it's outright making things worse for people, especially minority groups, for really uncertain hope that things will drastically improve.

instead of bickering about what speed we want to go over the cliff at

It seems sensible to try and vote to slow down the speed instead of accelerating lol. With slower speed you have more time to actually stop the car.
