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!

      But it doesn’t matter, throwing away your vote to vote bloo in california is absolutely meaningless, so again what gives? I understand you go vote local or ballot measures, you want arms embargo, and then (….) ✅ kopmala it is. I just struggle with that (….) thought process

        There's also the false logic of "if my vote doesn't go to someone who wins then it's wasted."

        Yeah, IDK either and I'm fucking surrounded by them in "ultra-progressive" Northern California. Best I get is "We HAVE TO make sure Trump loses!" even when confronted about the electoral college. disgost
