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!

    I just want things to change. I can't do four more years like this. At least Trump was called out for being shit, I feel like I am going crazy these days talking about being "nuanced" on genocide. Everbody thinks they're so damn clever, yet all the do is repeat what the TV tells them.
    When Trump suggested "buying" Greenland from Denmark he was laughed out of the room, had it happened under the current administration it would probably have happened.
    Imagine if Covid had begun under Biden. I don't know if there'd been a lockdown. If there'd even been an acknowledgement of a pandemic going on. Maybe there would've, but seeing how the west is just whipped under the US under the dems, and seeing how the dems are just as psychotic as the republicans... I dunno. We'll probably get a bird flu pandemic in the next four years. I wish there was some other maniacal steward that could be handed the reins to mister bones wild ride.
    There's a meatgrinder going on in Ukraine and if you even suggest we might have had something to with it... The climate is fucked and now I gotta argue that nothing is being done because of [whatever the TV said this week]. Remember all those toxic rail chemical accidents? Things have only gotten more shit in the last 4 years, but dare suggest it and you gotta look at a graph held up by some dork who you gotta walk thru all the steps of basic cognition, before they'll concede that maybe things aren't doing so good.
    I'm tired.
