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!

    Wait, hang on, how are the Greens tailing the Libertarian Party? I feel dumb for really thinking they could get up to 5%.

      Liberals seem more willing to suck it up and vote for a candidate they hate.
      Libertarians actually cost Trump a couple states in 2020, wonder why no one talks about that thonk

      They get like 1-1.5. Americans are deeply immoral nation theory-gary

      weren't the Greens (and other left-leaning parties) off the ballot in a few states?

      I'd wanna see the combined total of PSL + Greens + West before doing any real analysis anyways. but I guess it wouldn't surprise me if more people just stayed home this time around
