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!
Drove past my polling place on the way to work. Big line already at 6:30
It constantly blows my mind that Americans ever think this sort of thing is normal. I think I had to wait in line to vote once in 1996, and it was around a 3 minute wait.
It's stupid as hell. I went to the wrong polling place. I guess the one closest to me isn't "my" district's polling place. What the fuck is this dumb system?! I could have put in a provisional ballot. I decided to go to "my" polling place, instead.
The only thing about the whole ordeal that's 20th century in my state (NJ) is the electricity in the voting booth. Everything else about it feels straight out of the 1800s.
Very thankful that NJ implemented vote by mail upon request, I can't imagine having to stand in line with a bunch of lead poisoned geriatrics after a long day of work. Glad those days are over.
