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!

    well, my plan was to just go to sleep once it became clear that Harris was gonna coast to victory, but now it looks like the Democrats might well be on their second once-a-century fuckup in a decade, so I can't look away

    i'm gonna need coffee in the morning

      if i've said it once i've said it 72 trillion times, never underestimate the ability of democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

      I've been sounding the alarm bells on the Democrat's rhetoric for months now, so I'm not surprised. But Harris can still turn it around, it's not fully bratover yet.

      It’s the climate change of electoralism

      A massive trump blowout is definitely the funniest outcome. I kinda wanted to study what Harris would do though.

        I was kinda hoping we'd see one side appear to be winning but barely and then it flips so both sides could be in tatters for a while and then the losers would cry about some conspiracy or another for 10 years.
