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!

    Harris gets to 270, but then Nebraska changes the rules to after the election to change the electoral college allotment to winner takes all, throwing the election to a Republican controlled House of Representatives. Even more chaotic if the Supreme Court intervenes to allow it.

      That reminds me that I forgot about faithless electors. All it takes is a few MAGA/khive sleeper cells to activate at the electoral college to throw a wrench in everything. Imagine the meltdown if the electors just do whatever they want and we get jeb.

        It only takes one faithless elector to completely overturn the result of a 270-268 election!

          They attack the police with 120$ a dozen donuts from a boutique donut shop on Martha's vinyard, securing the total support of the DC cops.
