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!

    Everyone here saying she’s cooked but don’t be so quick to judgement. Every state that has been called was obviously going to either trump or Harris. For the more contested states though this race is so neck and neck though that “leading” doesn’t really mean anything when looking at the map. You’ll need to wait until the vast majority of counties, especially the large metro areas, have reported. This is one of the reasons why the chuds all called fraud during 2020 - they saw a nearly all red map early on turn blue by the time they got up the next morning

      Difference is in the reported counties Trump is overperforming his numbers from 2020, often by large margins. That'll probably translate to the swing states.
