put all of your election posting here so it doesn't bother anyone else!

from @[email protected]:

For Agitprop purposes, I’m asking comrades to help aggregate any and all effortpost responses, critiques, or general thoughts that you have seen or written pertaining to yesterday’s U.S. election that you think have standalone value for discussion either online or IRL.

I made a post for that purpose here, and ideally it can be used not only for general discussion, but as a reference for well thought out responses in discussions about the election to save all of us some brainpower.

No shitposts please, as we’d like to highlight some comrades’ actual effort in constructing responses or analysis, but humor is 100% welcome to help make your point!

Let chaos reign. Let the seat of the dark god of capital lose its mandate and plunge into political upheaval.

Anyway, share your favorite chaotic scenarios or predictions for the coming shitshow. I only remember one.

Trump wins the popular vote but loses the electoral college. This one is cool because the political parties have to flip their programming overnight about the electoral college and we get to see new brainworms develop for how the American democracy was corrupted (how can it be corrupted if it was always an oligarchic dictatorship of capital?).

Will there be recounts? How many states will have stop the steal rallies to intimidate poll workers in non-hwite areas? Will Biden declare martial law when via-getty returns on January 6th 2: January 7th? How racist will both political parties get when they lose? Find out ~~next week on~~ over the next week and stay tuned until the season finale on January 20th.

Harris gets to 270, but then Nebraska changes the rules to after the election to change the electoral college allotment to winner takes all, throwing the election to a Republican controlled House of Representatives. Even more chaotic if the Supreme Court intervenes to allow it.

That reminds me that I forgot about faithless electors. All it takes is a few MAGA/khive sleeper cells to activate at the electoral college to throw a wrench in everything. Imagine the meltdown if the electors just do whatever they want and we get jeb .

It only takes one faithless elector to completely overturn the result of a 270-268 election!

They attack the police with 120$ a dozen donuts from a boutique donut shop on Martha's vinyard, securing the total support of the DC cops.
