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!

    DEMOCRACY is when you have two choices and one of them's wrong.

    No, worse than that, you have multiple choices and all of them are wrong except one, and the whole thing is a test on the moral purity of society to see if enough good, enlightened people will tick the Right Box to outweigh the people who are so ontologically evil, or led astray by foreign corruptors, that they tick a Non-Right Box.

    Trying to demand anything of the avatars of the Right Box just exposes you as evil or corrupted. You must be browbeaten into accepting that justice is absolutely equivalent to ticking the Right Box, all else is mere vanity. The avatars of the Right Box cannot be judged by those whose are themselves subject to judgement, whose faith is under question. Any gap in the shield of faith invites in the demons who cause all social ills. Every Non-Right-Box choice is equivalent, and damns your soul exactly the same. You must face this trial, accepting whatever terms the avatars of the Right Box impose on you, paying whatever price, spilling however much blood they demand, so that they can stave off the apocalypse for another four years. To ask more is treason, blasphemy, an abomination. You're sick, a monster even. Don't you know that the House/Senate/Courts are overrun by demons? Did you ever consider it might be your moral failure that let this happen?? Either way, nothing can be done; stop whining and go do your duty.

    DEMOCRACY is a pen ticking the Right Box, forever.

      It's not a choice. It's a test. Sorry, you get an F. No partial credit. Was the box too small for you to show your work? So sad.
