put all of your election posting here so it doesn't bother anyone else!

from @CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net:

For Agitprop purposes, I’m asking comrades to help aggregate any and all effortpost responses, critiques, or general thoughts that you have seen or written pertaining to yesterday’s U.S. election that you think have standalone value for discussion either online or IRL.

I made a post for that purpose here, and ideally it can be used not only for general discussion, but as a reference for well thought out responses in discussions about the election to save all of us some brainpower.

No shitposts please, as we’d like to highlight some comrades’ actual effort in constructing responses or analysis, but humor is 100% welcome to help make your point!

    Also worth mentioning how funny/bonkers it is that we don't know who wins on election night. Because the other team brings in rules lawyers to make the bean counters double count and triple count the beans because reasons. While in other countries they know like an hour after the polls close.

      Pretty wild for first past the post and whatever "technology enabled" systems are in use

      Some systems with full preferential voting take a while to count
