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!

    From r/neoliberal

    Just wanted to say to all of the lgbtq folks here. I am so sorry that we let you down. None of you deserve this. You deserve love and acceptance not hatred and bigotry.

    I hope you all find your safe haven and are able to enjoy all the great joys that life affords us. I know what I'm saying doesn't change anything, but I hope that it's at least a small comfort in all of you knowing that you matter.

      But actually, be there for trans comrades, invent cool trans people from school if you don’t know any (for coworkers/neighbors), doused hatred is better than a burning one, thinking there are good ones(tm) is better than thinking it’s all bad

      And normal (tm) people respond better to overbearing kindness, not dunking. Even racist shitheels (cause i’m white, so I can spread some doubts around). Obviously not nazi tier, but most aren’t
