Welcome to c/electoralism! politics isn't just about voting or running for office, but this community is.

Please read the Chapo Code of Conduct and remember...we're all comrades here.

Shitposting in other comms please!

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!

None of you can vote in American elections. Why does it matter to you?

This is genuinely kind of sad. You've talked yourself into the "foreign agents" kayfabe so hard that now you're just walking into threads going "you're foreigners, why do you care?" because the obvious evidence of this being a mostly American website confuses you.

Not that non-Americans don't have plenty to care about the imperial hegemon's politics, but let's not get into that. The point is, the "bot" rhetoric isn't made to be a consistent description that best explains all available evidence, it's meant to be something to throw out as an excuse to disregard things that contradict you. Trying to actually sit and just observe things even briefly is missing the point of the framework you're coming from.

Just because my state doesn't allow ballot photos doesn't mean I didn't vote

Wish your execution was on the ballot because I'd vote for that
