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!
When the future histories talk about the fall of the American Empire I believe the first half of the 21st century will be talked about like we talk about Rome’s crisis of the 3rd century. A military, economic, and political collapse.
Militarily: Pulling out of Afghanistan, eating shit in Ukraine, one of the poorest countries in the world (Yemen) giving the most power navy in human history a black eye, and directing a genocide in Gaza
Economic: neoliberalism cannibalized the US productive economy so on-paper economic growth driven by people derivatives on ice cream cone sales.
Political: A democrat will win in 2028. Because we’re now in the terminal decline where everything just gets worse every year. Americans don’t know how to process this so they just blame the president. Obama is the last 2 term president the US ever has.
