YOU are speaking!

Have you made any poignant commentary on the recent election in the U.S.? Do you have a good response to liberals who are upset with the results or process of the election? Have you written or seen something as a comment reply/post that you think has standalone value? Did you see a new take or analysis you hadn’t previously considered?

Whether it’s a long idea with lots of context, or a short and sweet one liner, we want those thoughts aggregated here. This post is intended to be a resource for comrades to draw from when having actual discussions outside of Hexbear both online or IRL regarding the election.

Consider this a mini-effortpost aggregator. This is not for shitposts, but humor is completely acceptable if it helps make the point.

    I’ll start by just saying that the classic response to the election results remains timeless:

    If democrats were serious about protecting the things you cared so much about, they would have taken the election more seriously than nominating a candidate who so clearly had dementia that they were eventually forced to pull him from the race. They only pulled him from the race just months before the election because his mental decline was so obvious that it was completely indefensible, and that’s after he did untold damage in both voter turnout and campaign time.

      Never ever forget that what did Joe in was not him bankrolling a genocide but a bad TV performance. Then they ran his VP. These people were never serious about winning.

        they get paid either way, and they don't have to pretend to enact policy when they lose

      And he is still in Office too. Really shows how incompetent they are at doing anything political that isn't just civility coronation pecking order BS.

        Too dementia ridden to run for president, not too dementia ridden to be the president. Make it make sense

          idk. I guess Kamala just doesn't have the gonads to 25th amendment him. From what I've read his family and long time allies are wrapped around him pretty tightly, it's hard to get access.

      Even post debate there were libs yelling that Biden was fine and it was ableist and ageist to say there was anything wrong.
