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!

Idk if betting odds aggregators are a reliable signal. Betting bros are far more likely to be right wing IMO.

True, but they get less partial when their money's involved. In 2016 they gave Clinton an 80% over Trump's 20, and like all the polls too, guessed that one very wrong.

It's generally much more reliable than polling tho: https://electionbettingodds.com/TrackRecord.html
