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 might not be good at agitprop.
Every time that someone implies that Palestinians should have been sacrificed for the country, I just call them fascist.
It is after all what they are but I'm not sure if that convinces people to try something different.
I understand this urge so deeply, and it really is so much easier sometimes.
That being said, you have the perfect opportunity to separate online life rhetoric from real life rhetoric and make progress for the Palestinian people here.
I think it’s safe to say that MOST liberals who were ok doing the whole “vote for the lesser of two evils” thing are actually not thrilled about the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. To them, it was just an unfortunate situation that they couldn’t worry about when they felt they had issues they could do something about. But that is exactly where you take the win as a principled leftist. You get to come to them with an actual analysis and tell them that not only did voting for “the lesser of two evils” damn the Palestinian people, but in the end it didn’t even protect the things they were hoping it would for exactly that reason.
my ecstatic gloating over Kamala's failure to normalize genocide shines like a burning sun
