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.
Wasn't turn out significantly depressed compared to 2020?
Yeah, I heard this was an incredibly low turnout
People weren't excited to vote for 99% hitler? Who could've seen this coming
I have to double check the numbers but it was lower then 2020 i think.
2020 was an outlier though. Both geriatric ghouls did record numbers in that election
True, and mail-In-voting was what drove those numbers, I think. So you're probably right, likely better to compare it to 2016 honestly.
this says more about 2020 than 2024 though. 2020 was unusually high turnout (62% iirc), some people think because of COVID and mail-in ballots being widely available
I'm not sure if it's that significant, they've still got about 10% of votes to count.
