It's probably time for a new one of these.

NE-2 went to Biden so a tie is unlikely unless he loses NV so stop posting about that.

Other admins, please replace this when there is a result. I'm going to bed.

The 🇱🇷 2020 🇱🇷 American 🇱🇷 Presidential 🇱🇷 Elections 🇱🇷 are the single most important political event since The Last Fascist was VOTED 🔫 OUT 🔫. We on the admin team see it as our duty to enforce the views of our audience by any parasocial means necessary.

As a nacho-socialist cabal, we see no path to revolution other than by focusing the majority of our leisure time on consuming bougie media. Media that is obsessed with the details of an election we decided our preferences on months ago, if not years ago. Here's the bottom line: Voting makes you a good person and not voting makes you a bad one. Don't believe us? Just ask Lenin:

A democratic republic is the best possible political shell for capitalism, and, therefore, once capital has gained possession of this very best shell (through the Palchinskys, Chernovs, Tseretelis and Co.), it establishes its power so securely, so firmly, that no change of persons, institutions or parties in the bourgeois-democratic republic can shake it.

We must also note that Engels is most explicit in calling universal suffrage as well an instrument of bourgeois rule. Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you. Universal suffrage, he says, obviously taking account of the long experience of German Social-Democracy, is "the gauge of the maturity of the working class. It cannot and never will be anything more in the present-day state."

See? We can't let capital take control of this "very best shell"! Turtles belong to the people! And the way we do that is by voting for posts.

    As a Zen Master I bring you this secret from the void:

    We live today in the eye of the storm, at the end of the Imperial Core and in the twilight of Western cultural hegemony. Celebrate. We should then be patient, calm, and save ourselves for the spring.

    But nothing has fundamentally changed?

    Everything has fundamentally changed.

    Neo-Maoists now control the leading factions in global capitalism. The fascist coup attempt is imploding. The online “Thule Society” at the heart of the Western far-right has been decapitated. The QAnon cult has been cut loose.

    We have enough to hang them. Supporting a fascist coup and losing puts a person in a very weak position: that of a traitor - not just to the American state, but to all of humanity.

    The financiers of this coup — Peter Thiel — are surely trying to distance themselves, and may do so successfully, but the remaining far-right conspirators, especially those in the networks associated with 4chan and /Pol/, are soft targets - they are paralyzed.

    We can go for a full sweep.

      this is nice and poetic but Qanon has not been ‘cut loose’ and the imperial core is still the dominant force in capital globally though it is slipping. but we definitely are entering a new era

      What does this mean?
