America you have shocked the world.
But seriously, it's barely a win for Biden which is the best harm reduction result with the best rebuking of him and chairman Daou is planning a revolution. Biden is ahead enough to get 270 if the remain vote isn't for Trump he'll increase his margin by small amounts. Now go read some theory.
If election day's got you in an emergency, you can find hotlines here
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.

The best part about being a leftist is that you can laugh no matter who wins because in reality we all lose
A trans woman won a state senate seat. She views healthcare as a privilege rather than a right meaning transitioning is a privilege rather than a right and poor trans people can get fucked. This fucking country
Thank you the last thread was literally killing the site
also this went up as the pinned mod post in the /r/neoliberal discussion thread like an hour ago:
Beyond agreeing with the below completely and utterly, I'd just like to let y'all know that, as a Hispanic user myself, I was very disappointed in the behavior of some members of this forum yesterday.
We have to talk about this. I'm gonna keep this short. Last night a lot of you had some heated gamer moments in the thunderdome. This isn't much of an exaggeration. Calling for kids to be locked in cages based on their ethnicity, for example. I expected better. If I see any of that shit again, you're getting a 7 day ban if I'm in an extremely good mood.
Have a good day.
EDIT: To clarify, since a few people have brought it up: This was not exclusively people outside the sub. The mod team recognized a few of the people who made comments like this as regulars. I wouldn't be stickying this to the top of the DT if it was only people from outside the sub.
lmfao
Honestly this was the best possible outcome because Trump ate shit, the establishment and the media got completely embarrassed AGAIN, and despite Biden's victory the neoliberals can take no smug glee in it
If I see any of that shit again, you’re getting a 7 day ban if I’m in an extremely good mood.
LMAO, neolibs being WEAK AF with their "few rotten apples"
This is what happens when your “woke” politics is represented by people with Milton Friedman flairs.
With over a thousand comments it literally couldn't load and was slowing down the whole site
Like I tried to post that quote an hour ago but my post would not go through. I took a break to eat dinner, still nothing when I got back.
Pretty sure the site is still tanking though
The site doesn't do a good job of folding comments, so the servers work really hard when a lot of people are loading a big thread and everything gets laggy.
I totally get not voting for biden and thinking he's a shit candidate, because he is and fuck him and his presidency. I don't get how some people here seem genuinely bummed out that trump lost the election, or are holding out for him to try something. Those are some real brainworms. Ofcourse fascism isn't suddenly going away, nobody is saying that. But fuck Trump dude. Seems like some here got a little too cozy and have some weird synergy with trump being their opposition. Like they like it being that way and feel empty without him. It's fucking weird.
Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the results tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck is he losing? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want Trump to be president and fix this broken country. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought he was polling well in Michigan???? This is so fucked.

No matter what happens with the electoral college, I am very glad I got to see both r/neoliberal and thedonaldwin cry and shid their pants these past 24 hours. Was expecting to only get to see one of those two things, sometimes hellworld ain't so bad.
Democrats raised more than $315 million to decisively lose 6 Senate races 😅
anyone been feeling like all history exists as the history of class struggle lately, or is it just me?
Seeing angry MAGA chuds outside of a vote counting place in Detroit and they’re being blocked by police. The funniest thing would be seeing Police beating the hell out of blue lives matter republicans.
My DMs are open if you need a simp to hype up your progress
nice
A certain Japanese professor has defined Japanese culture as "a culture of death." In a long essay he argues that the "collective unconsciousness" of the Japanese is governed by a strong attraction toward death.
His theory somehow explains even the peculiar five and seven-beat rhythm that characterizes Japanese poetry. "If Freud was correct," his thesis concludes, "and the death wish is a basic desire in all human culture, then it can be admitted that one culture in particular may represent that desire."
Another professor claims, to the contrary, that the outstanding feature of Japanese culture is the love of the Japanese people for all phenomena. The Japanese, he says, are unwilling to believe in a reality separate from this world; they understand the abstract in terms of the world's concrete features - its mountains, rivers, trees, and insects.
It is true that the millions of people living on the isles of Japan are a single nation, and a nation, so they say, has its own particular culture. Every student of that culture who explains it one way or another is probably correct from his point of view.
Contradictory ideas may be found within a single person; how much more so, then, in an entire nation? Poems written before death no doubt reflect the attitudes of the dying, and what hundreds and thousands of Japanese say before death must certainly partake of the "Japanese spirit."
Let us not forget, however, that when someone dies; it is not a nation but an individual that is dying. A person can bequeath his property and even his opinions to his survivors, but he buries his own name with him. And what stands behind that name, which belongs to the man alone, will never be understood by another. This is perhaps what a certain little-known poet named Tomoda Kimpei meant when he composed his death poem:
In life I never wasamong the well-known flowersand yet, in witheringI am most certainlyTomoda Kimpei.If Japan is a death culture, then America has to be a "all the levels of hell combined into one" culture.
Or better known as the culture of finance imperialism.
literally five counties in two states are deciding the entire outcome lol, this is fucking insane. what a fucking waste of a country
‼️ KEY RACE ALERT: ‼️
You still live under a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie‼️
At an airport; earshot from a group of chuds whining like little bitches. I hate Biden but listening to these tough guys meltdown was mildly delicious.
