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!

    I would argue this is why Trump is doing so much better among minorities than a lot of white, college-educated radlibs would expect.

    I've been saying for months now that Democrats are having a poor campaign with minority groups, and that their rhetoric is particularly alienating towards non white men. It's an observable effect I've seen in their campaign.

      That platform they release for black men was just straight up racist, and it would have been said openly if it had been Trump's platform for black men.

        Even before that, Democrats (especially Harris during the debate) were basically calling Latino men a bunch of criminals who bring in drugs (especially fentanyl) and crime over the border, even though statistics showed the vast majority of fentanyl was brought into the country by US citizens. Then there's Harris herself, who made a career out of prosecuting non white men in the racist US justice system. Literally referred to as California's top cop.

          I mean sure, but Trump isn't any better of than front than her. I really think that a lot of this just comes down to people thinking about the money they had in their bank accounts under Trump versus what they have now under Biden, and Harris refusing to offer pretty much anything to materially benefit those people.

          Yeah running a cop, and hte coppest of cops, four years after the uprising was a choice. It didn't seem like online libs cared, but it looks like online libs don't matter when it comes to winning elections.
